Dr. Glynis Ablon, M.D., F.A.A.D. shares some insightful knowledge about the latest developments in dermatology and how to keep your patients feeling confident and vivacious, including:

As a member of the South Beach Symposium Planning Committee, you help design and curate the agenda. How do you decide which topics should be covered; do you rely on issues or concerns you see in your practice, or emerging therapeutics/devices/technologies?

In your opinion, is it more beneficial for dermatologists to have either a cosmetic, medical, or surgical practice and build a reputation as an expert in one area, or is it more advantageous to offer many dermatologic services?

Dermatology is known as one of the most competitive medical specialties. What would your advice be to medical students or residents pursuing a dermatology fellowship and career?

The recent approval of JAK inhibitors to treat atopic dermatitis is an exciting development in medical dermatology. Are there any devices or technologies emerging on the aesthetic side you are excited about? Do you see any gaps in the current dermatologic training?

Do you see efforts by LiVDerm and South Beach Symposium to address those gaps (if any) and is that a draw for clinicians to seek conferences like ours?
