In 1980 Kalsbeek left the department to become professor and head of the department of dermatology in Utrecht. After Woerdeman left in 1983, Van Dijk asked Starink to take over the collaboration with the pathologists and preside over the weekly dermatopathology conference. That year Henk M. van den Hoogenband joined the staff for his expertise in phlebology. The following year Van den Hoogenband and Van Ketel left the department. They were succeeded by two former trainees: Edith de Boer, who had developed a special interest in phlebology, and Derk P. Bruynzeel, staff member since 1982 with a specific focus on allergology and occupational dermatology. Theo Starink Van Dijk retired in 1987 and Theo Starink (1948), who had defended his PhD thesis on Cowden Syndrome and other familial multiple hair follicle tumour syndromes in 1986, became interim head of department. In 1988 he was appointed professor and head of department, together with Rein Willemze (1951; photograph on page 83), who had joined the staff as chef de clinique 3 years earlier. Willemze had come from Leiden, where he had developed a special interest and expertise in cutaneous lymphomas. The title of their combined oration in 1989, ‘the skin jointly examined’ (‘de huid samen bekeken’) was not an empty slogan: their unique mode of dual leadership proved to be very successful. Although there was no strict separation of tasks, Starink was able to focus on management, patient care and teaching, while Willemze further developed his renowned research line on cutaneous lymphomas, yielding several PhD theses and many publications. At the same time, Starink continued to participate actively in research projects, especially in studies on familial multiple hair follicle tumour syndromes.[4-6] 117 Pathology training at the Free University Medical Center, Amsterdam (2000).
