EP22: Dr. Philip LeBoit on being curious, tips on diagnosis and avoiding error, and fallibility

***Please excuse my voice - I recorded this towards the end of a several weeks-long illness!***What is the difference between late medieval and early Renaissance Italian painting? Dr. Philip LeBoit knows! (find out how!) (I still don't know the actual answer....) Dr. Philip LeBoit is Professor of Pathology and Dermatology as well as Division Chief of the Dermatopathology Service at the University of California, San Francisco. He founded the UCSF Dermatopathology and Oral Pathology Service in 1987. He trained in Anatomic Pathology at University of California, San Francisco and then in Dermatopathology at New York University under Dr. Bernard Ackerman and at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center under Dr. N. Scott McNutt. He has written several academic textbooks, including one of my favorites with Dr. Guido Massi, Histologic Diagnosis of Nevi and Melanoma. He was editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Dermatopathology from 1997-2006 and an associate editor of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
