I’m so excited to introduce to you today to Dr. Arisa Ortiz, a board-certified dermatologist and director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at UC San Diego Health. Because Dr. Ortiz has such a strong academic background, I really wanted to talk with her about some tips for aspiring medical students or current medical students.

 

We talk about:

 

• Completed cosmetic residencies and fellowships, (including a cosmetic fellowship at Harvard, and her journey to becoming Director of Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology
• Her advice to get into a residency or fellowship program and how to stand out
• How she did a major #girlboss move and created her dream position and what life is like as the Director of Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology at UCSD
