Wayne State University SOM - Dermatology Image Atlas | Dr. Robert J. Schoenfeld
Dr. Schoenfeld earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 1949. After receiving a medical degree from Wayne State University in 1952, he returned to U of M for his internship. Immediately following his dermatology residency at Wayne State University Affiliated Hospitals in 1958, Dr. Schoenfeld received an appointment as instructor in the WSU Dermatology Department. He participated regularly in weekly grand rounds for 55 years and in 2008 was appointed professor.
Dr. Schoenfeld was one of the founding members of the Hermann Pinkus Lecture Foundation, named in honor of his mentor, Dr. Hermann Pinkus, the internationally known chair of dermatology at Wayne State University. The Foundation funds an endowed lectureship in Dr. Pinkus' honor. Dr. Schoenfeld was also chief of the dermatology division at William Beaumont Hospital for 35 years, and served a term as president of the Michigan Dermatological Society.
Dr. Schoenfeld's interest in photography which began as a hobby, developed into taking more than 20, 000 clinical slides that WSU dermatology residents have been using regularly. These slides continue to be a teaching tool.
