In today’s episode we ask renowned dermatologist, Dr. Jerry Tan, why are there so few dermatologists in Canada? We even get into how shockingly low dermatologists are paid and the incredibly long educational process for becoming one.

...we even ask Dr. Tan if there is a conspiracy to keep the number of dermatologists low in this country.
