About
AURORA is built and operated by Advanced Dermatology of Alaska, a board-certified dermatology practice serving communities across the state.
The operator
Advanced Dermatology of Alaska provides board-certified medical and procedural dermatology to patients across Alaska. AURORA grew out of a simple reality the practice sees every day: too many Alaskans live too far from specialty skin care. AURORA is the practice's answer, a structured way to extend that expertise to rural and remote communities through local partner sites and teledermatology.
Clinical leadership
Dr. Dorizas is a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Advanced Dermatology of Alaska. He leads AURORA as Principal Investigator and clinical lead, setting the program's clinical standards and directing its hub-and-spoke model.
AURORA's dermatology hubs are operated by Advanced Dermatology of Alaska:
How it fits together
Advanced Dermatology of Alaska operates the clinical hubs and provides the dermatology expertise. AURORA is the rural access network that connects local spoke sites to those hubs.
