Transcript

What are you looking forward to most at this year's AAD Annual Meeting?

I always look forward to the AAD meetings because it's a chance to really catch up on what's the latest news. In my areas of specialty, the genetic skin diseases and inflammatory skin diseases, there's so much to learn from my colleagues who, as I am, are doing cutting-edge research and bringing new medications to our patients, but also new understanding of diseases. I'm looking forward to hearing that. I'm also looking forward to networking, because the academy is such a great opportunity to catch up with friends and make new collaborations.

What do you hope attendees take away from the meeting sessions?

I'll be presenting in several sessions, but probably most importantly is to hear tips about how we may manage patients in practice [in ways] they may not have thought of before, and very importantly, to update them on the latest therapies that may be available for treating inflammatory skin diseases.
