Got to talk about my favorite-est subspecialty in Dermatology at a postgraduate course last Friday 👩🏻⚕️ Milestone para sa neophyte dermatologic surgeon na ‘to, so siyempre may reflection ako 😋
In Derm Surg, our work lies in the intersection between form and function. And refining our surgical technique matters because:
❕Patient expectations are rising
❕Even the smallest excision can affect a patient’s confidence, especially in visible areas like the face, and
❕Surgical technique has a direct impact on patient outcomes, and this can make or break our reputation
I wrapped up my lecture with three reminders I also live by each day. There are times when I’m still unsatisfied with my work, but every setback is a lesson. Part of growing as a surgeon is asking yourself ‘What would I do differently next time?’ —and just keep refining your craft. 🧐😇
