William Abramovits, MD, FAAD, is an academic and practicing dermatologist in Dallas, Texas. His career started in Venezuela, where he obtained the certification of physician and surgeon in 1972. He then completed a residency in internal medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 1976. He then transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles, to complete his residency in dermatology in 1979. He was then board-certified in dermatology by the American Board of Dermatology, which he continues to maintain.

Later, he returned to Venezuela to practice and teach dermatology. Well-known political circumstances there made him relocate back to the United States, first to McAllen in south Texas and then to Dallas in 1990 to practice and teach.

Currently, Dr. Abramovits teaches at Baylor University Medical Center (now part of Baylor Scott & White Health), and the Lake Granbury Medical Center dermatology residency.

Dr. Abramovits has authored over 250 publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and textbooks, authoring several. He lectures on skin disease nationally and worldwide.
