Clinical research includes conducting a medical literature review, analyzing and compiling data from SCARS Center to find patterns in aesthetic and functional outcomes of innovative reconstructive techniques, and investigating rare presentations of skin lesions. Manuscripts are submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.
Monthly skin cancer conferences and cosmetic conferences are held to enhance the medical education of local physicians. The goal is for physicians to learn new strategies, skills, and techniques to incorporate into their practices, resulting in improved patient outcomes.
To enhance both research and patient data storage, we manage clinical photographs in a larger digital asset management database. Categorizing and tagging of photos allows efficient review of treatment techniques.
We have recently launched our podcast and YouTube series discussing the progression of the science behind COVID-19. After this pandemic abates, we will return to our regular programming on skin cancer, plastic surgery, and all things appearance.
