EADV Podcast

This special episode of the EADV Podcast marks the launch of The Patient Voice, a new section of the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (JEADV) dedicated to patient-authored contributions.

Dr. Sarah Walsh speaks with Dalila Simonian, who shares her personal journey of living with psoriasis and the transformative impact of feeling heard and involved in her care. Prof. Francesca Sampogna highlights the scientific importance of patient-centred measures and explains how lived experience complements clinical assessment in understanding disease impact.

Together, they discuss how this new section aims to bridge the gap between research and real life, empower patients, and support clinicians in delivering more holistic, patient-centred dermatology care. The episode concludes with an open invitation for patients and clinicians to contribute and help shape a more inclusive future for dermatology publishing.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Prof. Carle Paul (JEADV Editor -in-Chief) and Prof. Antonio Torrelo (JEADV Clinical Practice Editor-in-Chief) discuss the art and science of editorial decision-making, the balance between evidence and intuition, and the growing role of patient-centred content, from plain-language summaries to patient-authored contributions. The editors also share practical advice for authors, including what makes a submission stand out and how strong visuals and clarity can elevate a paper’s impact.

The conversation closes with a forward-looking exchange on artificial intelligence, reminding listeners that while technology may assist, it’s human insight, empathy, and originality that continue to define great publishing.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, host Dr. Sarah Walsh speaks with Dr. Max Oscherwitz, an internal medicine physician at Duke University School of Medicine and incoming dermatology resident at Johns Hopkins University, about the growing role of private equity in dermatology.

They discuss the history of private equity in U.S. healthcare, its appeal for physicians, and the tensions it creates between financial priorities and patient care. Dr. Oscherwitz highlights recent research findings on patient access, consultation patterns, and the shift toward cosmetic procedures, while also reflecting on legislative safeguards and the importance of physician leadership in protecting care standards.

The conversation concludes with a personal perspective, as Dr. Oscherwitz shares lessons from his Fulbright year in Colombia, working with the Red Cross to deliver care in resource-limited settings.
