The Alexander Fisher Award (AFA) recognizes excellence in research among dermatology residents or medical students who make formal presentations at the annual American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS) meeting.
The aim of the study was to investigate long-term likelihood of patch testing, academic practice, and society membership among Alexander Fisher Award winners (AFAWs).
The AFAWs from 1989 to 2012 were identified with Internet searches to obtain their current practice location. Each practice was contacted by phone, and staff was asked whether the AFAW performed patch testing. Current ACDS membership was confirmed by ACDS leadership. Academic status was assessed by university association on practice Web sites.
Sixty-two awards were presented to 60 individuals from 1989 to 2012. Fifty AFAWs are actively practicing dermatology in the United States (n = 43) and Canada (n = 7). Of 50 practicing AFAWs, 18 (36%) are active patch testers, 29 (58%) do not perform patch testing, and 3 (6%) could not be reached or staff declined to answer. Of the 50, 14 (28%) practice in an academic setting, and 10 (20%) are current ACDS members.
亚历山大·费舍尔奖（AFA）旨在表彰在美国接触性皮炎学会（ACDS）年会上正式演讲的皮肤科住院医师或医学生在研究方面的卓越表现。
本研究旨在调查亚历山大·费舍尔奖获得者（AFAWs）进行斑贴试验、学术实践和参与学会的长期可能性。
通过互联网搜索确定了 1989 年至 2012 年的 AFAWs，以获取他们目前的执业地点。每个执业地点都通过电话联系，并询问工作人员 AFAW 是否进行斑贴试验。通过 ACDS 领导层确认当前的 ACDS 会员资格。通过实践网站上的大学协会评估学术地位。
1989 年至 2012 年共颁发了 62 项奖项给 60 人。50 名 AFAWs 目前正在美国（n=43）和加拿大（n=7）从事皮肤科工作。在 50 名执业的 AFAWs 中，18 名（36%）是活跃的斑贴试验者，29 名（58%）不进行斑贴试验，3 名（6%）无法联系或工作人员拒绝回答。在这 50 人中，14 人（28%）在学术环境中执业，10 人（20%）是当前的 ACDS 会员。
