Derms on Drugs
Scholars in Medicine
Derms on Drugs is where cutting-edge dermatology meets mediocre comedy. Each week three dermatologists – Matt Zirwas, Laura Ferris and Tim Patton – discuss, debate, and dissect the hottest topics in dermatology. It's everything you need to know to be on the cutting-edge of dermatology and it’ll be the most fun you’ve ever had while actually learning something useful. Derms on Drugs is produced by Scholars in Medicine, an online educational platform (scholarsinmedicine.com) exclusively for healthcare professionals of all levels of experience and education.
