  • Efficient, memorable, conversational and fun

    Good mix of common and rare derm problems, adult and ped. They review the recent articles efficiently, in an entertaining and conversational way that makes it more memorable, and then getting practical and real. Also useful is how they explain meds or conditions to their patients so I can use that same language.

  • Best derm pod so far!

    Just recently discovered this podcast and I have to say that it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Broad coverage of topics with a focus on clinical relevance presented in a down-to-earth and pleasant tone. Really like the presenters and would love to have them both as colleagues. Also, the Pimping Bell is a nice touch :)

    Please keep up the good work!!!

  • Excellent show

    Enjoyed my time listening to this podcast.

    Really good selection of articles where even minute details such as the methodology are discussed in context of the overall picture.

    Would recommend to all derm residents as well as more senior physicians to stay up to date on new articles in a fun and easy to digest manner.

    All the best
