Clinical excellence is the foundation of the profession of dermatology. But here’s the challenge—clinical skill, no matter how extraordinary, is not enough to set your practice apart.

Now, that doesn’t mean skill isn’t important. It means the differentiator comes when you combine that expertise with empathy.

Patients expect you to be clinically excellent. They assume you’ve mastered your craft. What makes them loyal, what makes them refer friends and family, and what makes them remember your practice—is how you made them feel.

That's why this episode reveals the research that your clinical excellence gets amplified when it’s paired with emotional connection.
