My statement on SB140:

"Simply put, SB140 amounts to state-mandated malpractice.

Why should politicians be able to pass laws that supersede established medical care standards?

And what patient would prefer their medical care be directed by a politician rather than a doctor?"

@US_FDA and @SyneosHealth, the iPLEDGE REMS site is already down and the call center is not yet active, preventing safe access to #isotretinoin for our patients. When will this issue be addressed?

Provocative study in this weeks @JAMADerm exploring the payments to dermatologists stratified by race, sex, and age. BOTTOM LINE: Dermatologists get paid LESS money treating non-white and female patients. Does this effect practice patterns? Paper here: https://t.co/OSYMhp7CYL

[Jules Lipoff, MD @juleslipoff]

Important study out this week in @JAMADerm - with more evidence of payment incentives that may drive disparities.

If the average white patient generates a practice THREE TIMES MORE REVENUE than the average Black one, does that create a structurally racist system?

Differences in Outpatient Dermatology Encounter Work Relative Value Units and Net Payments by Patient Race, Sex, and Age https://t.co/PuC4MyOaab #derm #onlinefirst

[JAMA Dermatology @JAMADerm]

Race, sex, and age differences in wRVUs for outpatient dermatology encounters favor older, white, males. This may influence resource allocation and patterns of dermatology health care delivery from @EmoryDerm @RobertSwerlick https://t.co/bitD0861g5
