Working with the brightest

I am privileged to work with many bright medical students, residents and physicians whose energy and enthusiasm can never be forgotten. One example is this wonderful manuscript recently produced by University of Toronto medical student (and soon to be physician herself) Stephanie Wan that I had the privilege of supervising.

The article was just published last month in the November/December 2018 issue of the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery.

Few articles in the medical literature have explored how hair loss is portrayed in various classic works of literature. The paper draws a nice parallel between a character’s experience of hair loss with the loss of identity that patients themselves often expeirence. Honored to work with Stephanie.
