Kirk is thrilled to welcome his first Australian guest, Dr. Christopher Chew, to the podcast for what he describes as a fascinating conversation filled with great clinical information on treating something Australian dermatologists know more about than anyone, Actinic Keratosis. Their discussion is focused around the article co-authored by Dr. Chew in the July/August issue of the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery titled: "Topical Calcipotriol Plus 5-Fluorouracil in the Treatment of Actinic Keratosis, Bowen’s Disease, and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review."

Dr. Christopher Chew is a trainee dermatologist at the Skin Health Institute in Melbourne, Australia. He is also a lecturer and program coordinator at Monash University Medical School, where he is pursuing a PhD studying vitiligo and melanocyte biology.

His co-authors on this article are Adam H Lapidus, Sangho Lee, Zhao Feng Liu, Sarah Smithson, Christopher and Douglas Gin.
