Dermatology

Hello, and welcome back to the Medical Sisterhood, a podcast created in collaboration with HCP Live, dedicated to empowering female physicians by providing a platform for shared experiences, mentorship, and support.

I'm your host, Mona Sherryari, an associate professor of dermatology at Yale University and practicing dermatologist in Connecticut.

And today we're tackling a question I think a lot of physicians quietly ask themselves, but don't always say out loud.

Knowing what you know now, would you still recommend medicine to someone that you love? Because medicine is changing fast.

I'm really excited to talk about this topic.

Now, I know you and I know each other very well, but can you tell our audience a little bit about yourself and what you're up to these days and your journey to get here?

Okay, well, I am a professor of dermatology at Tulane University.

I'm also the program director and I hold several other hats in the university.

Welcome to the Derm Resident, high-yield dermatology by residents for residents.

Today on the show, I've got a very special guest joining us today, Dr. Diego Da Silva.

He is a board-certified dermatologist at Forefront Dermatology.

and a world-renowned expert in chronic pruritus and all things itch, as well as he is the host of his own podcast, Skin in the Game, a podcast that I've enjoyed listening to.

It's brand new.

These are actually our clients.

My clients are dermatology clinics across the board, right, who want to just see things, you know, to diagnose rashes, dry skin, all of this can be time consuming.

So if you just want to take some of these basic labeling of skin issues.

You can easily just map our AI in your clinic and it does it basically 247 where you don't need your dermatologist to be on seat.

You're one of our newest contributing authors.

So we do invite you all to go over there and read his article.

Thank you so much for telling us the story of what dermatology looks like over there.

and your own journey to helping to solve a really big problem using a really simple solution.

Hi, everyone, and welcome back to the DECA podcast.

She also serves as deputy chair of the Data Derm Oversight Committee at the American Academy of Dermatology.

Today, we're going to be speaking about navigating MIPS and MVPs in 2026.

Welcome, Dr. Parra.

I think we're all kind of muddling through sometimes with these types of requirements, but I encourage you to get on the website, check out Dataderm, check out the MIPS information that's there, and I'm hopeful it'll be a little easier for you this year.

We're speaking with Dr. Lena Ramani, a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon and the founder of Palm Beach Skin and Hair Restoration in Jupiter, Florida.

She's joined us here today on eHealth Radio's health news and dermatology information channels, a part of the eHealth Radio Network.

Now, continuing on, Dr. Ramani, what does recovery from a hair transplant actually look like and how do you help patients understand the timeline the visible results so that they maintain confidence in the process?

Yeah, that's a great question.
