Section Editor: Benjamin Barankin, M.D., FRCPC
As dermatologists we all have our individual style of practice and favorite areas of dermatology on which we prefer to focus. But we all share one thing in common: We have a strong desire to improve our skills. Getting input from colleagues can help us achieve this goal, and it is the reason for this column. Clinical Tips will highlight a wide range of pearls from practicing dermatologists — everything from a better way to perform a clinical procedure, to a more effective method for communicating with patients, to advice for improving an office function.

Here they present issues related to skin cancer and photoaging and introduce the broad-spectrum photoprotection now available thanks to new photostabilization technology and the combining of organic filters that provide greatly improved UVA protection.
