GRAND CAYMAN – “Why say ‘noncompliant patient’? It’s redundant!”

That’s what Dr. Steven R. Feldman jokingly told an audience at this year’s Caribbean Dermatology Symposium, provided by the Global Academy for Medical Education.

In this video interview, Dr. Feldman, the director of the Psoriasis Treatment Center at Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, N.C., recounts anecdotes that led him to understand what it takes to get patients to comply with treatment, also shares his tips for getting patients to take a more active role in healing what ails them, whether it be psoriasis or any other illness.

Global Academy and this news organization are owned by the same parent company.
