    The Biopsy Is Not the Answer Key: Putting Pathology into Clinical Context

    In this episode of Cutaneous Miscellaneous, host Nicholas Brownstone, MD, welcomes David Oberlin, MD, to explore the role of skin biopsy in clinical decision-making and how collaboration with dermatopathologists can strengthen diagnostic accuracy. Their conversation covers biopsy technique, site selection, specimen quality, and the importance of interpreting pathology findings alongside the clinical picture. Dr Oberlin discusses how to approach descriptive or nonspecific pathology reports, including challenging scenarios such as dermal hypersensitivity reactions and hand or foot eruptions where pathology alone may not provide a clear answer. He emphasizes broad differentials, clinicopathologic correlation, and the limitations of biopsy, while encouraging clinicians to communicate directly with dermatopathologists and incorporate patient preferences into management decisions. Tune in to the episode to hear strategies for approaching challenging biopsy results, strengthening collaboration with dermatopathologists, and building the clinical judgment that supports confident patient care.

    Psoriasis Biologics: A Case-Based Guide to Getting It Right

    In this episode of Cutaneous Miscellaneous, host Nicholas Brownstone, MD, is joined by Erin Boh, MD, for a case-based discussion on selecting and managing biologics for psoriasis in a rapidly expanding treatment landscape. With more than a dozen biologic and oral options available, treatment selection increasingly requires a balance of clinical evidence, patient factors, and individualized strategy. Through 3 practical cases, they walk through first-line biologic selection, management of incomplete or waning response, and common pitfalls encountered by residents and early-career dermatologists. A central theme is the role of personalized medicine, including genomic tools like the Mind.Px test, which evaluates gene expression patterns to help identify the most appropriate therapeutic class. The conversation highlights how these tools can reduce trial-and-error prescribing, support payer discussions, and improve patient confidence in treatment decisions. Tune in to the episode to hear how experienced clinicians integrate clinical judgment with precision testing, navigate real-world complexities, and approach biologic selection with a more personalized, patient-centered framework.

    From Residency to Real Life: Avoiding Burnout Before It Starts

    In this episode of Cutaneous Miscellaneous, host Nicholas Brownstone, MD, is joined by Vinh Chung, MD, dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, for a thoughtful conversation on burnout, physician well-being, and becoming the kind of doctor you want to be. They explore why burnout often emerges early in training, driven by workload, time pressure, and administrative demands, and how it can manifest as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished fulfillment. Dr Chung reframes burnout as something that can develop through neglect rather than inevitability, emphasizing the importance of supportive teams, shared purpose, and meaningful work. The discussion also touches on moral injury, the role of autonomy in professional satisfaction, and the value of aligning career decisions with personal values rather than prestige or compensation alone. Tune in to the episode to reflect on who you want to become as a physician, how to evaluate culture and leadership when choosing your next step, and how long-term perspective, humility, and human connection can help sustain fulfillment in dermatology.
