When it comes to dermatology do you tend to be a lumper or a splitter? 🤔

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from doing inpatient dermatology it’s that herpes can secondarily infect anything and everything - HSV in mycosis fungoides? Hailey-Hailey? Bullous pemphigoid? Pemphigus vulgaris? Yes, yes, yes, AND yes

I miss UWorld as a study resource 🥲

Took my first round of core exams today! 🙌🤞 Hoping for the best!

If you’re a derm resident, consider signing up to be a DIGA mentor! As someone without a home program, programs like these were so helpful when trying to figure out the path to derm 🙌

Studying contact dermatitis - will never forget what product ammonium thioglycolate can be found in (anyone else?)

Had such a wonderful time presenting at the Society of Dermatology Hospitalists Annual Meeting in San Diego! Really exciting to get our work out 📊 #ComplexMedDerm

Stop giving Veterans suboptimal care 🗣️🗣️

Fun surprise to find out an article I wrote about Dr. Mona Sadeghpour, MD’s wonderful YoungMD Connect mentorship event was out in print from a friend tagging me on it on Instagram 😂☺️🙌

Great Emory Dermatology Grand Rounds presentations today by Drs. Karen Taraszka Hastings and Emily M. Altman, MD! Thank you so much for your time and teaching! 👏

As core season approaches I thought I would share some things that helped me remember random derm facts: You can remember that Van der Woude syndrome has lower lip pits, by thinking of the famous Serena van der Woodsen lower lip bite. Happy studying!

First day of chief year! 🎉

I took my dermpath core and now every time I close my eyes I just see histology slides on repeat

Someone sent me a photo of their Grand Rounds and it was exciting to see some of our research being shared! It is important to recognize disparities within melanoma ⬇️

We have an open PGY2 position for July 1, 2025 in dermatology! The best avenue to learn more will be our virtual open house. Join us Sunday, 9/8 at 3PM. Registration is required. zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Really excited to give my upcoming Chief Grand Rounds! Thank you to everyone who made this possible! zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Life update! Thank you Emory Dermatology for bringing us together 🤍

Does anyone have any virtual dermatology conferences they would recommend?

I started a new Instagram account to share my dermatology updates there since I don’t use Twitter as much! Follow darkplace, my place.derm on Instagram if you’re interested! 🤍

Congratulations to our incredible Dermatology Residency and Fellowship classes of 2025! It has been an honor to have each of you as part of our program. Your dedication, talent, and compassion have made a lasting impact and helped make Emory Derm even stronger! We will miss you!
