She is seeing patients in the UAMS Dermatology Clinic on the second floor of the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. Referrals are required.
Coleman has an interest in complex medical dermatology and enjoys treating patients with connective tissue diseases, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, and autoimmune blistering diseases, among other conditions. She also practices general dermatology, treating more common conditions such as acne vulgaris and atopic dermatitis. She is also passionate about resident and medical student education, and she enjoys mentoring students as they navigate the process of applying in dermatology.
“I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Coleman and the enthusiasm she brings to patient care and resident and medical student education,” said Sara Shalin, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the department. “Her prior experience and interest in complex medical dermatology, including hidradenitis suppurativa and cutaneous lymphoma, will enable us to continue to provide thoughtful and compassionate care to patients with significant skin disease.”
Coleman comes to UAMS from Tulane University in New Orleans, where she was an assistant professor of dermatology. Prior to Tulane, she completed a dermatology residency at University of Vermont. She earned her medical degree from Yale School of Medicine in 2019, where she published numerous studies in onco-dermatology as a research assistant in the dermatology department.
