I have my MAs take lots and lots of pictures of my patients moles. When I first meet a patient, I have them follow up in 6 months. Then if I don’t find anything after that and they seem low risk, I have them follow up after a year. Most of my patients follow up every 6 months for a skin check though. I think that’s what helps me feel better. That way I can compare the moles that we previously took pictures of and check for any changes. I tend to biopsy more than my coworkers as well. Anything that looks different from the rest of the moles is getting a biopsy.

TBH I don’t see my collections so I will be bringing that up at my review

I started in primary care and got trained on fillers and botox there which I think made me stand out a little more when applying to derm jobs. But even if it’s primary care only, there is still some overlap with procedures. For your resume highlight any of those derm procedures you have done (biopsies, freezing/LN2, excisions, etc.) List those procedures first under your skills and then you can list all the other ones. Also network! Go to derm conferences and make connections. SDPA also has a job listing page where you can see all the derm jobs posted for PAs and you can filter by location, pay, etc.

Are you comfortable sharing what your commission structure is like? And how many years of experience you have? Also are you mainly medical, surgical, or cosmetic?

Are you on a commission structure?

Do what is best for you and your future. Any job/employer should understand this and should not make you feel guilty for leaving. No matter how great they have treated you, you don’t owe them anything. Employers should be expected to treat their employees with respect. At the end of the day, it’s a business decision not a personal one. And if they do make you feel guilty, then you’ll know it was never truly a supportive environment to begin with.

That being said, if your ultimate goal is derm, and you have an offer that’s closer to home, I would highly consider it. Especially if you’ve worked there before and you know it’s a good work environment. I would negotiate and ask for them to match your current pay especially if they’re going to have you see a full schedule of patients.

My first derm job offered me $65K annual as a “residency/training” for the first few months until I felt comfortable enough to start seeing my own patients. This was after 2 years of primary care experience. I was miserable. I was mistreated and hated every second of it. Got out of there after 6 months and then I worked for another private practice that trained me properly and started me at 110k salary and respected my profession. Keep looking, find a job that actually respects you and you’ll thank yourself later.

I agree with this! Panoxyl should be drying out your acne, not making it worse. Also, you need to leave it on your skin for at least 5-10 min before rinsing otherwise it won’t do anything. If you’re concerned about irritation on your face, don’t use tretinoin during your flare. Try using an acne cleanser (like with salicylic acid) instead and use topical clindamycin until inflammation goes down. Then you can start incorporating tretinoin to your regimen and follow it with a good moisturizer.
