Steven R. Feldman, MD: Hi. I'm Dr Steve Feldman and welcome to Medscape InDiscussion. Today, we're talking about psoriasis and the most important things to know about psoriasis treatment — using topicals. First, let me introduce my guest. She's a dermatologist and assistant professor at Queen's University Ontario, and she serves as medical director at the Skin Center for Dermatology and the Skin Research Center. A prolific researcher, she's published about 100 Medline referenced articles on psoriasis, as well as psoriasis treatment guidelines. I'm honored to present Dr Melinda Gooderham. Welcome.
Melinda Gooderham, MD: Thanks, Dr Feldman. Happy to be here.
Feldman: Let's just start off with some fun fact with our listeners that the people just don't know about you.
Gooderham: I guess it's fun for me because I love to travel the world, and this job of being a dermatologist who does clinical research has given me the opportunity to travel all over the world and I actually filled a 10-year passport in 4 years.
Feldman: That's awesome. What were some of your favorite places?
Gooderham: Israel, amazing. Taiwan, amazing. Every place has such a different thing to offer. Any place in South America.
