Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Robert Sidbury, MD, MPH

July 23, 2025 | Medscape Faculty, dermatology 

- PMLiVE

We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Dr. Robert Sidbury.

Dr. Sidbury was a visionary in pediatric dermatology whose dedication to advancing patient care inspired clinicians, researchers, and learners around the world. As Professor of Pediatrics and Chief of Dermatology at Seattle Children’s, he led with both expertise and empathy, shaping the field and improving countless lives.

For about a decade, we at Medscape had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Sidbury on a number of key dermatology educational programs. His clinical insight, thoughtful presence, and professionalism enriched every collaboration, from expert case discussions to on-camera interviews. Beyond his knowledge, he brought genuine warmth and joy to every interaction.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him. We are grateful for his contributions and will carry forward his legacy in dermatology education.
