Wanting to listen to a journey into integrative derm? We’ve got just the one. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Sarah Jensen as she discusses how she’s incorporated integrative dermatology into her rural practice. Listen in as she talks about clinician burnout, a surge of interest in complementary medicines by patients, and how to keep an open mind. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence based research in integrative dermatology. For access to CE/CME courses, become a member at LearnSkin.com.
Sarah Jensen, MD was originally an art major turned medical student, who then became a double board certified Dermatologist and Dermatopathologist. Having worked in academic medicine for years, Dr. Jensen opened her practice in a semi-rural/suburban office over 13 years ago just south of St Louis. Finding herself in need of change and feeling some of the burnout of medicine, Dr. Jensen applied for LearnSkin’s Integrative Dermatology Certificate Program and graduated this past Spring with its 3rd annual cohort of students. Dr. Jensen is actively working to apply her knowledge in practice and also in raising a healthy and balanced family of three young adults.
Dr. Jensen is dual board certified in Dermatology and Dermatopathology. Prior to attending medical school at St Louis University, she completed a bachelor's degree in Visual Arts at Scripps and later attended the college's Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program. Her background in art provides a distinct aesthetic in her approach to patient skincare. Dr. Jensen began her career in academic medicine and later established her private practice, Regional Dermatology, located just south of St Louis. Dr. Jensen's office integrates all aspects of dermatology including: medical, surgical, and cosmetic skin care. Having recognized a shift in patients' desire for alternative options, she discovered Learnskin and is soon to complete its Integrative Dermatology Certification Program. This enriching program and its engaging, integrative community have further expanded her knowledge and broadened her treatment options. Learnskin enabled Dr. Jensen to redefine her practice in medicine and create an office that she would seek out, as a patient, herself.
Dr. Hadar Lev-Tov is a board-certified dermatologist with extensive research experience. Throughout his training and in daily practice, he has always believed that the key to achieving health for his patients is grounded in his ability to truly connect to their experiences and perceptions of health and well-being. Maimonides, one of the greatest philosophers of all time realized that human knowledge, often represented as "science," is limited. As a physician, he feels he would be a fool to believe all is known. Maimonides said, "The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it." LearnSkin is his journey to a better understanding of his patients.
Dr. Raja Sivamani is a board-certified dermatologist and practices as an integrative dermatologist at Pacific Skin Institute. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Clinical Dermatology at the University of California, Davis and Director of Clinical Research and the Clinical Trials Unit.He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the California State University, Sacramento and an Associate Professor of Dermatology at California Northstate University, College of Medicine.He engages in clinical practice as well as both clinical and translational research that integrates bioengineering, nutrition, cosmetics, and skin biology. With training in both Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicine, he takes an integrative approach to his patients and in his research.He has published over 100 peer-reviewed research manuscripts, 10 textbook chapters, and a textbook entitled Cosmeceuticals and Active Cosmetics, 3rd Edition with a passion for expanding the evidence and boundaries of integrative medicine for skin care.
