In episode 45 of Derms and Conditions, our host James Q. Del Rosso, DO sits down with Mark Kaufmann, MD, President of the American Academy of Dermatology.

The two begin by discussing the many benefits of AAD membership and what the AAD is currently doing to support its members. In an economy that has seen record levels of inflation, physicians have still had to face an 8.5% cut to Medicare reimbursements. Dr. Kaufmann explains how he is working to counteract these cuts, and how you can support this mission by reaching out to him directly to get involved or by donating to the SkinPAC. Finally, Dr. Kaufmann shares some of his favorite initiatives that he has worked on and some exciting ideas for the future. You won’t want to miss learning about his fruitful tenure as AAD president and everything he has done for the specialty.
