   From First Year to Chief: The Resident Journey

Drs Bartley and Burshtein discuss learning to become comfortable with the unknown, balancing board preparation with day-to-day clinical learning, and developing the communication and interpersonal skills that textbooks cannot teach. They share approaches to studying, using resources effectively, and building habits that support success throughout residency. The conversation also explores what makes a strong resident, including curiosity, humility, reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to keep learning. Dr Brownstone reflects on how those habits continue into practice, where learning from new research, treatments, colleagues, and patients never stops.

   The Biopsy Is Not the Answer Key: Putting Pathology into Clinical Context

   In this episode of Cutaneous Miscellaneous, host Nicholas Brownstone, MD, welcomes David Oberlin, MD, to explore the role of skin biopsy in clinical decision-making and how collaboration with dermatopathologists can strengthen diagnostic accuracy. Their conversation covers biopsy technique, site selection, specimen quality, and the importance of interpreting pathology findings alongside the clinical picture. Dr Oberlin discusses how to approach descriptive or nonspecific pathology reports, including challenging scenarios such as dermal hypersensitivity reactions and hand or foot eruptions where pathology alone may not provide a clear answer. He emphasizes broad differentials, clinicopathologic correlation, and the limitations of biopsy, while encouraging clinicians to communicate directly with dermatopathologists and incorporate patient preferences into management decisions. Tune in to the episode to hear strategies for approaching challenging biopsy results, strengthening collaboration with dermatopathologists, and building the clinical judgment that supports confident patient care.

Dr Wang also reviews stratum corneum biology and how it impacts drug delivery. The discussion then turns to life as a dermatology researcher. Dr Wang shares why he chose a research-heavy career, how he built his lab, and how clinical practice informs his research priorities. He and Dr Brownstone also discuss funding realities, time management, and how residents can explore research paths during and after training.
