The UTMB Department of Dermatology was deeply saddened to learn that Dr. Robert Tausend suddenly passed away on January 1, 2021.
He was well known to our medical students and dermatology residents, and he always welcomed them to learn about dermatology in his private practice (Bayshore Dermatology) in Pasadena, Texas. Many UTMB medical students interested in dermatology careers greatly benefited from having Dr. Tausend mentor them during the 4-week Ambulatory and Community Medicine Selective graduation requirement. He was the UTMB AOA Visiting Professor in 2015.
