CHESAHNA KINDRED, MD, MBA, FAAD

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF DERMATOLOGY
HOWARD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
WASHINGTON, DC
KINDRED HAIR & SKIN CENTER
COLUMBIA, MD

Bio

Dr Chesahna Kindred is a board-certified dermatologist, published research
author, and national speaker. She was recently named “Physician of the Year” by
the Daily Record. Dr Kindred grew up in South Central Los Angeles, an area of
California known for its tough streets and strong community spirit, and a place
where overcoming adversity was not simply a choice, but a way of life. It was
this environment that planted the seed for Dr Kindred’s future in her field,
cultivating a strong ambition and drive to serve her community, empowering
people through beauty.

Growing up, she quickly garnered a reputation for her love of education and her
desire to help others achieve their goals. It was this drive that led her to
pursue a career within the field of dermatology. Dr Kindred began her studies at
the University of Southern California where she received her Bachelor of Science
with a minor in Spanish. She then relocated to Ohio where she continued to push
herself in her educational pursuits, earning not just her MD degree, but also an
MBA at the University of Cincinnati.

Dr Kindred was awarded a full scholarship as a Yates Fellow for the MBA program,
where she was only the third person in the history of University of Cincinnati
to receive the dual MD/MBA degree. She then took up her residency and fellowship
at Howard University, an institution that pioneered Ethnic Dermatology. It was
here that Dr Kindred gained her passion and focus on hair loss and ethnic skin.

Soon after graduating from her dermatology residency at Howard University, Dr
Kindred became a leading dermatologist at MedStar Health in the Baltimore area.
Five years later, she founded Kindred Hair & Skin Center in Columbia, Maryland,
where she treats people of all ages and ethnicities.

Dr Kindred remains on the cutting edge of hair loss treatment, using 3 different
methods of treating hair loss with growth factors, such as PRP, on a regular
basis. Currently, she owns the first dermatology office with a full-service
salon that specializes in hair loss, PeterKINdred Hair & Scalp Wellness Center.
The stylist in the salon is Susan Peterkin, co-founder of the Natural Hair
Industry Convention.

Locally, Dr Kindred is heavily involved in community service, often organizing
health fairs, mentoring aspiring doctors, and working with local churches and
community organizations to help educate and empower the community at large.

Within the field of dermatology, Dr Kindred is:

 * Founder and President, Onyx Medical Society, a society of the National
   Medical Association
 * Chair of the National Medical Association, Dermatology Section
 * Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD)
 * Member of the Women’s Dermatological Society, American Society of
   Dermatologic Surgery, Maryland Dermatologic Society, and Monumental
   Dermatology Society

Outside of dermatology, Dr Kindred is:

 * Leader of the African American Community Roundtable, Health Committee
 * Leader of Celebration Church Health & Wellness Ministry
 * Deacon at Celebration Church at Columbia

Dr Kindred has been featured on:

 * Disney’s Doc McStuffins
 * WMAR Baltimore ABC News
 * WJZ Baltimore CBS News
 * WBFF Baltimore Fox News
 * Dermatology Times

Dr Kindred has several publications concerning an array of dermatologic topics
including co-writing chapters in leading dermatology textbooks. Her publications
include but are not limited to hair loss, skin cancer, and treatments in
patients with skin of color. Philosophically her focus of “Empowering through
beauty” has resonated with patients worldwide. Understanding the desire people
have to feel as beautiful outside as they do within, Dr Kindred helps them
achieve the balance that allows people to feel complete. True beauty is not
about vanity, but instead about empowering one’s self to have the confidence to
live life to the fullest.

COURSE INFORMATION

SPONSORSHIP & SUPPORT

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic condition mediated by immune and neural
dysregulation and presenting with highly pruritic, hyperkeratotic papules or
nodules; the condition disproportionately affects African American patients
compared to the general population. There are currently no FDA-approved
therapies for the treatment of PN, leading to a high level of variability in
clinical practice and the use of off-label agents; the current treatment
landscape, or lack thereof, highlights the need for a multimodal approach to
therapy and consideration of emerging agents. As a result, many health care
professionals may be unaware of the standard, off-label treatments used, as well
as the clinical data surrounding promising emerging agents for PN management and
as a result, may miss opportunities to deliver evidence-based care. Join our
expert faculty as they discuss patient scenarios utilizing methods to avoid
missed opportunities for the care team, assess the clinical efficacy and safety
of standard off-label, as well as emerging therapies, and ultimately devise
effective treatment plans that encourage long-term adherence and address
residual disease burden for patients with PN.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The target audience will be comprised of dermatologists, specialty nurse
practitioners, specialty physician assistants, and managed care pharmacists.
