ADAM Awards
Apex Skin Founder and President Jorge Garcia-Zuazaga, MD, was a featured speaker at the 2026 Association of Dermatology Administrators and Managers (ADAM) Conference in Chicago, Illinois
His session, “Incorporating Clinical Trials into Your Practice,” focused on actionable strategies for integrating dermatology clinical trials into daily operations and expanding access to advanced care across Ohio dermatology practices.
As a board-certified dermatologist and experienced healthcare executive, Dr. Garcia draws from years of clinical practice and physician-led leadership to share insights on how dermatology practices can broaden patient access to innovative therapies.
Leveraging Apex Skin’s integrated model—where dermatology research and clinical trials are incorporated into patient care rather than treated as a separate function—he discussed best practices, operational considerations, and the value of aligning research initiatives with overall practice goals.
Apex Skin’s approach demonstrates how community-based practices can play a vital role in improving access to clinical trials and increasing patient representation in research.
With a multi-location network and integrated care model, providers are trained to introduce research opportunities as part of routine treatment discussions—enhancing both patient choice and access to advanced therapies, including options that support skin cancer treatment and other complex conditions.
“We’re at a pivotal moment in dermatology. Clinical trials don’t have to be distant from everyday practice,” said Dr. Garcia. “My goal is to help administrators understand how research can elevate patient care, create new revenue opportunities, and strengthen practice reputation while maintaining operational efficiency.”
Dr. Garcia is recognized for his ability to translate clinical vision into operational execution. His presentations focus on practical, real-world applications, making him a valued contributor to conferences centered on medical practice leadership and management.
Following his appearance at ADAM, Dr. Garcia continues to contribute to industry discussions through speaking engagements, panels, and educational events related to dermatology operations, clinical research integration, and physician-led leadership.
Apex Skin’s integrated approach to dermatology clinical trials and patient care is supported by the Apex Clinical Research Center, where innovation and treatment come together to expand access to new therapies.
Through this model, patients have the opportunity to explore advanced treatment options, contribute to meaningful dermatology research, and receive care that reflects the latest developments in the field.
