Photobiomodulation CME Part I: Overview and Mechanism of Action
Photobiomodulation (PBM), previously known as low-level laser light therapy, represents a non-invasive form of phototherapy that utilizes wavelengths in the red light (RL, 620-700 nm) portion of the visible light (VL, 400-700 nm) spectrum and the near-infrared (NIR, 700-1440 nm) spectrum. PBM is a promising and increasingly used therapy for the treatment of various dermatologic and non-dermatologic conditions. Photons from RL and NIR are absorbed by endogenous photoreceptors including mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (COX). (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology)

Assessment of correctness, content omission, and risk of harm in large language model responses to dermatology continuing medical education questions
Artificial intelligence (AI)-based large language models (LLMs) have been shown to have promising performance in medical applications, including on specialty board examination questions and complex clinical cases (Beam et al, 2023; Eriksen et al, 2023). Previous reports evaluated the performance of LLMs on dermatology practice board examinations questions (Passby et al, 2023; Joly-Chevrier et al, 2023; Mirza et al, 2024), but the performance of LLMs compared to practicing dermatologists has not been elucidated.

Photobiomodulation CME Part II: Clinical Applications in Dermatology
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is an emerging treatment modality in dermatology with increasing office and home-based use. PBM is the use of various light sources in the red light (620-700 nm) and near-infrared (700-1440 nm) spectrum as a form of light therapy. PBM is often administered through low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes. Studies show that PBM can be used effectively to treat conditions secondary to cancer therapies, alopecia, ulcers, herpes simplex virus, acne, skin rejuvenation, wounds, and scars.

Safety of dermatologic medications in pregnancy and lactation: An Update - Part I: Pregnancy
The breadth of therapeutic options for the management of dermatologic skin conditions continues to expand rapidly as exemplified by biologics and small molecule drug development. While dermatologists and healthcare providers are aware of the underlying mechanisms and indications for these therapeutics, there is a recognized practice gap due to an incomplete understanding of the safety of these medications in women of childbearing age during the prepartum, antepartum and postpartum phases. Although a two-part continuing medical education review was published regarding the prescribing practices and safety profiles of these n...

Narrative Medicine: The Power of Shared Stories to Enhance Inclusive Clinical Care, Clinician Well-Being, and Medical Education
Perm J. 2024 Jan 16:1-9. doi: 10.7812/TPP/23.116. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the problem of secondary trauma and moral injury for health care workers. This reality, together with the epidemic of social isolation and loneliness, has brought the mental health of health care practitioners and patients to the forefront of the national conversation. Narrative medicine is an accessible, diversity-honoring, low-cost, underutilized pedagogical framework with potentially revolutionary benefits for enhancing patient care, supporting the underserved, mitigating clinician burnout, and improving tea...
