Mentee: Aderonke Obayomi, MD, MPH
Mentor: Elyse Love, MD
Glam Derm
The Skin of Color Society Observership Grant allowed me to have an amazing experience to work with Dr. Elyse Love at Glam Derm in New York City. As residents, we have limited glances into life as a private practice Dermatologist. This was an amazing opportunity to get a sneak peak of what daily life in private practice looks like. Dr. Love was very welcoming, accommodating and made me feel like I was a part of the team! Every day I learned about new techniques that I hope to one day incorporate into my practice.
Dr. Love is full of wisdom: from novel lasers, injection techniques, chemical peels, the business of medicine, popular prescription and non-prescription topicals, and how to protect yourself from burnout, this was an invaluable experience! Dr. Love has already built a loyal patient following and is a star within Dermatology. A career certainly worth emulating! Dr. Love was very open, and we discussed my career goals and navigating life after residency. I am so thankful to the Skin of Color Society for providing me with this opportunity to have gained a new mentor, colleague, and friend.
