Dermatology Nursing Journal Presents Writer's Award
Writers from Sloan-Kettering clinic in New York cited
for skin cancer monitoring program.
PITMAN, NJ – Deborah L. Phelan, BSN, RN, OCN, a clinical research nurse at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Outpatient Ambulatory Clinic, New York, NY, and two co-authors have won the Dermatology Nursing journal’s 2005 Writer’s Award for an article on self-evaluation for skin cancer.
Phelan received the award during the Dermatology Nurses’ Association (DNA) 24th Annual Convention, March 2-5, 2006, in San Francisco,
CA, during an awards luncheon ceremony on Friday, March 3.
The article, “Patient Experiences with Photo Books in Monthly Skin Self-Examinations,” was published in the April 2005 issue of the journal. Phelan’s co-authors were Susan A. Oliveria, ScD, an epidemiologist at Sloan-Kettering, and Allen C. Halpern, MD, Sloan-Kettering’s chief of dermatology service. The authors described Sloan-Kettering’s program that teaches patients to monitor their skin for possible cancer using digital photographs, which they keep in a designated photo book.
