Christine Ko - Journey To Yale and The Power Of Cognitive Bias

Episode Summary

Hello, my friends, my life warriors! Can you believe it is the first Friday of August already this is going at the speed of light. Today on the podcast I was delighted to have Professor Christine Ko, MD who is a Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Yale University. She is board certified in dermatology with a speciality certificate in dermatopathology. Her research interests include squamous cell carcinoma and keratoacanthoma as well as clinicopathologic correlation of skin disease. Dr. Ko received her AB at Princeton University and MD from New York University School of Medicine. She completed her internship in internal medicine at UCLA, her dermatology residency at the University of California, Irvine, and her dermatopathology fellowship at UCLA. She has published numerous articles and chapters in dermatology and dermatopathology and is the creative mind behind Dermatology: Visual Recognition and Case Reviews and Dermatopathology: Diagnosis by First Impression. As an authority in dermatology, she has authored chapters on the skin in Goldman-Cecil Medicine, Brenner and Rector’s The Kidney, and Braunwald’s Heart Disease. Her first book for the general audience, How to Improve Doctor-Patient Connection: Using Psychology to Optimize Healthcare Interactions, was inspired and driven by her own experience as the mother of a patient whose condition went undiagnosed for longer than it should have. We talked about many things, including what was her calling to the medical world, her journey To Yale and the power of cognitive bias.
