Experts unpack biologics, molecular know-how, and patient trust—plus key previews for the upcoming AAD Annual Meeting.
Welcome to ABCs in Dermatology!
In the inaugural episode, co-hosts Lindsay Ackerman, MD, of U.S. Dermatology Partners, and Chris Bunick, MD, PhD, of Yale School of Medicine, introduced the podcast and the philosophy behind it.
The series, titled Ackerman-Bunick Conversations in Dermatology, or ABCs in Dermatology for short, aims to translate complex and rapidly evolving clinical and scientific developments into practical insights for practicing clinicians. New episodes will be released monthly, with video available on HCPLive and audio distributed through Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
The conversation began with each host reflecting on their path into dermatology. Ackerman described early exposure to cutaneous oncology research at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was drawn to the field’s range. Dermatology, she noted, uniquely spans infectious disease, malignancy, genetic disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. That breadth, combined with the opportunity to build long-term relationships with patients, helped shape her decision to pursue the specialty.
