What goes into the writing of a textbook? It certainly involves a passion for teaching, steadfast determination and a lot of sweat equity.  In this episode, Dr. Caroline Nelson talks about the many hats she wears: educator, inpatient and complex medical dermatologist, and author to a newly published board-review book for dermatology residents.  Spoiler alert: Topical does its first giveaway!

Finding the "right" research mentor or research fellowship can be an exciting - and daunting - process.  We meet with three current research fellows to talk about what to look for in a mentor, how to gauge the right fit, the goals of the fellowship year and the mentor / mentee relationship.

Happy 2023, dear listeners!  We are back in the studio for a January roll call: aka what you should be doing right now depending on your year of training in medical school.  We talk about clinical rotations, research years, applications and more.   Spoiler alert: the "product" of a research year is not publications!

If you couldn't get enough of the candid conversations with Dr. Dewan, neither could we.  In Part II, we learn about the wonderful Vanderbilt dermatology residency program.  It has it all: comprehensive training learning from complex patients, a revamped curriculum, fantastic faculty and a warm and tight-knit community.  And of course, we can't help but talk a little about ERAS and the application process.
