In this episode, three dermatology residents -- Dr. Daniel Mazori, Dr. Julie Croley, and Dr. Elisabeth Tracey -- discuss items they keep in their on-call bags in this special resident takeover of the podcast. Beginning at 14:50, they talk about premade biopsy kits, tricks for achieving hemostasis in the hospital, portable electronic gadgets, and creative alternatives for basic items. They also discuss bedside diagnostics and unique cases while being on-call. “After rotating through the consult service, you really do grow as a dermatologist,” reports Dr. Croley. “You see rare things; you see severe disease processes. You learn to be efficient and self-sufficient.”
We also bring you the latest in dermatology news and research:
1. Study finds inconsistent links with aspirin, nonaspirin NSAIDs, and reduced skin cancer risk.
2. Justin M. Ko, MD, MBA, of Stanford (Calif.) University discusses the American Academy of Dermatology's position statement on augmented intelligence. Dr. Ko is director and chief of medical dermatology for Stanford Health Care at Stanford Medicine, Redwood City, Calif. He is the chair of the AAD's Ad Hoc Taskforce on Augmented Intelligence, which wrote the position statement.
3. Prior authorizations for dermatology care nearly doubled in the last 2 years at one center.
