Social Media Tools Workshop: A Discussion of Best Practices
Jeffrey Benabio, MD, Kaiser Permanente San Diego

Does your practice have a Facebook page? Should it? Are you tweeting with your patients? Should you be? What’s Google Plus? By effectively employing social media, you can improve your business, gain new patients, and build a stronger, more meaningful relationship with your community. In this session, you’ll learn the answers to your social media questions and how to safely engage with patients using online social media tools.

Ethics in Pediatric Dermatology
Al Lane, MD, Stanford University School of Medicine
David Magnus, Ph.D., Center for Biomedical Ethics

The goal of medicine is to cure sometimes, support frequently and comfort always. Clinicians constantly attempt to make good decisions in the face of uncertainty by using clinical judgment. This session will focus on the beneficial effect of using ethical principles to assist in complicated decisions. We will use clinical ethics as a form of practical reasoning to help provide guidance to pediatric dermatology cases of clinical indecision. We will discuss example cases to demonstrate how to analyze cases and discuss the role of key ethical principles (e.g. respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence and justice). The analysis will make use of the four box method (medical indications, family preferences, quality of life, and context) and demonstrate how working through these categories and principles can offer assistance at times of clinical ambiguity.

Optimizing Your Career in Pediatric Dermatology
Brandie Metz, MD, Pediatric Dermatology of Orange County - Irvine
Alfie Krol, MD, Oregon Health & Sciences University
Jeff Sugarman, MD, Redwood Family Dermatology
Kim Horii, MD, Children's Mercy Hospital
Jon Dyer, MD, University of Missouri - Columbia
Aimee Smidt, MD, Univ. of New Mexico (moderator)

The field of pediatric dermatology continues to grow – and there is increasing need for more qualified practitioners in our specialty. But often there is a lack of practical information provided to the individual physician on: securing a job, asking the right questions when interviewing or changing practice settings, expectations for practice management, or promoting oneself on a desired career track.

This workshop aims to address real-world practice issues whether you are still in training, just started out on your career, or are a well-seasoned veteran in our field. A group of expert panelists from various stages/practice models will address these common areas and promote active discussion among the group with an emphasis on take-home “pearls.” These will include:

1) Choosing or changing your practice setting
Discussion to include: academic vs private practice, geographic location, practice size, solely pediatric vs. general dermatology, ease of change once in a certain practice type
2) Tips for job search/interviewing and contract negotiation process, at any stage in your career
Emphasis on how to find a position right for you, eg. negotiating salary/benefits, askin for what you need/want, tenure vs clinical tracks, practice management resources
3) Job satisfaction, mentoring and resources for self-improvement
What makes successful practitioners successful, including resources for professional development and role models

MOC Self-Assessment: Pediatric Dermatology
Howard Pride, MD, Geisinger Medical Center
Andrea Zaenglein, MD, Penn State University

This session is geared specifically for those currently enrolled in MOC-D. It features short case studies that relate to the diagnosis, treatment and management of pediatric dermatology conditions. Participants will answer questions, see how their colleagues responded and then engage in a detailed review of all the responses. Upon completion, attendees will earn credit for 25 of the 100 self-assessment questions they must complete every three (3) years in MOC. Note that this is a different program than the one offered at each AAD Annual Meeting. A minimum of 25 people will be required to hold this session.
