How did you begin your journey as a dermatologist? I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, but when I would do rounds, each field seemed disjointed from the rest. The only field that seemed to be the mirror to the whole body and to unify the entire system was the skin! It was the most challenging and the most satisfying to give people happiness and solace! So I chose dermatology in my medical training time!
Who inspires you?
