This episode brings a special guest, Dr. Jennifer Lin, who wears many hats and has expertise in melanoma, multicultural dermatology, and laser & cosmetic surgery.  A true devotee to learning, she has taken a path in dermatology filled with bold choices that is sure to inspire.  

Don't have time to go through old episodes looking for answers to interview trail-related questions?  We put together some of the most commonly asked questions from our listeners in this episode.  (Spoiler: we talk dress code, thank-you letters, top-5 schools, imposter syndrome and more!)

Becoming a parent is a tremendous experience, and doing it during residency comes with a unique set of challenges.  We invite Dr. Alexandra Charrow, dermatologist and cool-mom-extraordinare, on the show to talk about what it's like having a child during residency.  (No surprise spoiler alert: Arash became a father during residency too, and he's a pretty amazing parent)
