Today on Dermalogues: We get surgical.

Host Dr. Kerri Purdy talks with Dr. Noelle Wong about integrating surgical techniques into dermatology—from biopsies to complex excisions and the path to Mohs fellowship training.

Then Noelle brings in her colleagues Dr. Iren Kossintseva and Dr. Angela Burleigh to unpack the realities of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and the creation of their new all-female, high-volume Mohs clinic in Richmond, BC.

You’ll hear:

• What “non-Mohs” surgical dermatology includes
• How Mohs cases run from mapping to final closure
• Managing massive defects and complex reconstructions
• The behind-the-scenes of starting a new Mohs center
• Advice for residents interested in surgical paths

A must-listen for dermatology residents and anyone curious about the surgical side of the specialty.
