In this special Editor's Choice episode of the JCMS Podcast, Kirk is joined by Dr Cathryn Sibbald to discuss Alopecia Areata.  Cathryn is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto Medical School and a staff dermatologist at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, with a special interest in inflammatory and autoimmune skin conditions. And our interest with Cathryn is that she runs a clinic specifically related to Alopecia. The focus of Kirk and Cathryn's discussion is around her article which you will find as an in-depth review in the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery titled: “Alopecia Areata. Review 2023.” It is available now, open access, at the JCMS website. And for more great CDA podcasts, be sure to check out Dermalogues, our residents podcast, hosted by Dr Kerri Purdy.
