Dr. Nicole Maillet-Lebel
Vice President 2025-26
I was born and raised in Moncton, New Brunswick. I began my medical education with two years of pre-medical studies at Université de Moncton, followed by medical school and a dermatology residency at Université Laval. I completed residency training in 2018.
At the beginning of my practice, I divided my time between hospital and community-based clinic. I am now fully dedicated to community practice, where I provide comprehensive medical dermatology services, basic cosmetic procedures, and advanced mole mapping for early skin cancer detection.
I have established a team-based, community-focused dermatology practice with a strong emphasis on complex medical dermatology, serving patients from childhood through to older adulthood. Our multidisciplinary team includes nurses, a biologic coordinator, a family physician, and administrative support, allowing us to deliver comprehensive, coordinated care.
We manage a high volume of patients on advanced therapies for a variety of skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, alopecia areata, and vitiligo. I also follow a large cohort of melanoma patients and regularly assess and treat various types of skin cancer.
With the support of private investors from my local community, we acquired a Vectra WB360 total body imaging system for the clinic. Considering the significant wait times to access dermatology care across the Atlantic provinces, this technology allows us to provide timely and consistent mole monitoring, enhancing early detection of melanoma.
I have a strong commitment to medical education and professional development. While I have a few academic publications, my primary focus has been on teaching and mentoring. I provide extensive clinical teaching to family medicine residents, medical students, and physician colleagues.
Since 2022, I have been actively involved in the DRIVE program as an examiner. I served as the incoming co-chair for the 2025 cycle and currently hold the position of co-chair for the 2026 practice exam. In addition, I hold the position of Clinical Assistant Professor at three institutions: Université de Sherbrooke, Dalhousie University, and Memorial University.
I am a regular presenter at hospital grand rounds and contribute to our region’s annual internal medicine conference. In recognition of my community and professional contributions, I was named a finalist for the Moncton Chamber of Commerce’s Top 20 Under 40 in June 2025.
I have a strong interest in continuing education related to business management, time management, clinical efficiency, and optimizing patient flow. I have attended numerous lectures and read extensively on these topics, which has supported the growth and development of my multidisciplinary, team-based dermatology practice.
I first joined the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) as a resident and became an official member upon completing my dermatology training in 2018. I have maintained active membership for the past seven years. While I had not previously participated in CDA committees or working groups, I had always been interested in becoming more involved. I am now thrilled to be contributing more actively to the organization as a member of the Executive Committee, serving as Vice President for the 2025–2026 term.
“The Canadian Dermatology Association serves as our national voice and should represent the full spectrum of dermatologic subspecialties with dedication and inclusivity. Advocacy for dermatologists as the most qualified physicians to diagnose and manage conditions of the skin, hair, and nails must remain a core priority. Equally important is our role in championing the expertise and excellence of our Canadian-trained colleagues. The high standards of dermatology training in Canada are reflected in the quality of care we provide—and our association should continue to embody and promote that standard.”
I am truly honoured to have been elected Vice President of the Canadian Dermatology Association for the 2025–2026 term. I am deeply committed to upholding the visibility and reputation of our specialty as a highly skilled, well-educated group of dedicated physicians. In this role, I will work to ensure that the association continues to provide meaningful support and advocacy for our members across the country.
