What factors drive you when you think about your career as a dermatologist (and maybe your life in general)? What motivates you to get up and do what you do each day? Two primary motivations behind most peoples’ lifestyle decisions are money and family. These two factors probably contribute a great deal to where and how you’re practicing right now. And yet, the beauty of being a talented in-demand dermatology physician is that your skills are needed everywhere—from Alaska to Florida. The possibilities for establishing yourself as a skincare expert in whatever location your heart desires are truly endless!
