Career Corner: Following an Academic Career Path

-
Career Corner: Following an Academic Career Path Special thanks to Dr. Marilyn Wickenheiser for providing insight into following an academic career path. Dr. Wickenheiser serves as the Staff Physician and Associate Program Director at Cleveland Clinic Department of Dermatology. Since medical school, I have focused on medical education and teaching. During my dermatology residency, I served as the chief resident. In this role, I was tasked with developing the curriculum, mentoring fellow residents, and acting as a liaison between residents and faculty. Following graduation, I pursued opportunities to work with residents and medical students in an academic setting. After practicing clinically and serving as teaching faculty for several years, I assumed the role of Associate Program Director for my residency. My experiences with mentors and teachers have guided my approach. Additionally, witnessing the development of medical students and residents has been fulfilling. I...

Before that, I never really appreciated the value the WDS adds to our field. Many/Most of the recent leaders in dermatology have come through the WDS. I believe this is because the WDS fosters not just collegiality among all dermatologists, but it also uniquely encourages and provides opportunities for young dermatologists (and dermatologists to be) to get involved in our field. The WDS also encourages and pr...

  Coding Beyond the Clinic: New 2025 Updates in Telehealth E/M for Dermatology Practice By Susan Massick, MD, FAAD On January 1, 2025, the AMA introduced a new set of CPT codes specific to telehealth Evaluation and Management (E/M) services. While some private insurance payers have adopted the new 98000-series telehealth codes, Medicare has declined to recognize them, instead continuing to require the use of traditional E/M codes (99202–99215) with additional telehealth modifiers.   Of note, key telehealth flexibilities authorized under the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA)—including the waiver of geographic and originating site restrictions that allow Medicare beneficiaries to receive telehealth care from home—are set to expire on September 30, 2025. Until that time, dermatologists may continue providing telehealth services to Medicare patients at home. However, after this date, Medicare is expected to reinstate the originating site requirements, meaning pa...
