The More Than a Pretty Face Podcast has gone INTERNATIONAL! Today we are talking to an esteemed dermatologist today from Milan, Italy, who Dr. Shirazi had the pleasure of working with when she visited our practice in La Jolla in 2019.

Today we have Dr. Laetitia Colombo Fink on to not only talk about the dermatological differences between US and Europe, but to walk us through what it was like to be a physician in Italy during the Coronavirus crisis. If you remember, Italy was one of the first countries hit hard, and unfortunately, COVID-19 truly impacted the country as the population is disproportionally older, therefore higher risk.

Dr. Azi & Dr. Colombo-Fink Discuss:

• Dr. Colombo-Fink’s path in medicine
• What she is focusing on now
• Why is it important to shadow and observe as a physician?
• Specialties & differences in cosmetic derm between US & Europe
• What it was like as a derm during Italy's lockdown
• How the medical community responded to Covid-19 in Italy
• How things have changed since the pandemic
