and to supervise the dermatological trainees. By 1972 three dermatologists had transferred from UvA and Binnengasthuis to VU University and AZVU: Martien J. Woerdeman, Wim P. de Groot and Willem G. van Ketel. Although they were again appointed part-time, thus enabling them to continue their private practices in Amsterdam, their presence amply increased the capacity to train junior doctors as dermatologists. Woerdeman, who had a special interest in electron microscopy and dermatopathology, started a structural collaboration with the department of pathology. He also initiated research in bullous diseases together with biochemist Dick M. Boorsma, who became head of the laboratory for experimental dermatology. Van Ketel started a dermato-allergology unit, which proved to be very successful in the coming decades. In 1973 Mrs. Nel Verburgh-van der Zwan - the first dermatologist fully trained at the department - stayed on as part-time chef de policlinique. That same year Cees Nieboer moved from UvA to join the part-time staff at VU University, supervising the trainees in general dermatology and phlebology and participating in immunofluorescence research. In 1974 Kalsbeek was appointed lecturer in dermatology, specialising in immunopathology of the skin. In 1978 Theo M. Starink succeeded Verburgh-van der Zwan as chef de policlinique. As well as demonstrating his talents for clinical diagnostics and teaching, Starink also developed a passion for dermatopathology and clinicopathological correlations, inspired by his colleagues Kalsbeek and Woerdeman, and by pathologist Robert Hausman. 116 Theo Starink, Eise van Dijk and Götze Lucas Kalsbeek circa 1979.
