As a physician, I love the blogging community and sharing my knowledge in dermatology, beauty, wellness, and skincare. The #VerifyHealthcare campaign introduced by @austinchiangmd on Instagram, aims to increase transparency in the medical blogging community. I love the idea of doctors being transparent about their qualifications so that you can seek credibility in the information you are getting on social media. For these reasons, I wanted to share my credentials.
