E150: Private equity in Dermatology: impacts, risks, and future directions

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.
