Listen, Learn, Reflect
Hi listeners, we paused from releasing new content so that we can listen instead of speak, learn to fill our knowledge gaps, and reflect on our roles as individuals and physicians in the current state of systemic racism and danger to black and brown lives.  We don't have the answer yet, but we are working on content to broaden this discussion of diversity and anti-racism in medicine and dermatology.

S2E10 - Pros and Cons of Step 1 Becoming Pass/Fail
** Dear Listeners, the world has become a totally different place since we recorded this episode on March 9th.  Many of our listeners celebrated their match results at home rather than in crowded auditoriums.  Zoom has become the way we greet our students, teachers and colleagues.  We are proud to see our friends and colleagues on the frontlines, working tirelessly to take care of patients amidst the Covid-19 crisis.  We will continue to record virtually to bring you more content (and hopefully a few smiles) during these times.  Sending much love to you all, Kris and Arash **   Step 1 has (finally) become pass / fail!  Not only is this a huge change in undergraduate medical education, it may have tremendous implications for the medical school experience and application process.  In this episode, we talk about the pros and cons of this pivotal change.   Talk to us: Email: topicalpod@gmail.com Twitter: @TopicalPod             @KristinaLiuMD             @AMostaghimi Follow us on: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/topical-the-dermatology-podcast/id1375358222 Stitcher: http://stitcher.com/s?fid=183355&refid=stpr Google Play: https://player.fm/series/topical-the-dermatology-podcast
