SDPA and BMS assembled a panel of smart, accomplished women in dermatology to exchange ideas and experiences on a range of topics related to building careers, managing patients, work-life balance and so much more! The four panelists are similar in many ways, yet different in others. Each has an interesting story about her journey to success, why she made certain choices and what she learned along the way. All panelists share a deep commitment to dermatology and providing patients with superior healthcare.
The four gathered in November 2022 at the SDPA 20th Annual Fall Dermatology Conference in Miami to record this interview in the Dermcast.live studio. Co-moderators Allyson McMillan-Youngblood, Vice President and US Brand Head, BMS, and SDPA Board President Lauren Miller, MPAS, PA-C, relied on their impressive experience and knowledge about healthcare and the bio-pharma industry to lead the discussion.
