The Rounds 🩺

Some of the most useful conversations in dermatology begin with a case that didn’t go as expected. A treatment response that fell short. A patient whose priorities changed. A decision that would benefit from a colleague’s perspective. This World Psoriasis Day, let’s make room for those conversations. Join Dr. Allison Gregory and Dr. Tiffany Chen on The Rounds this October and November to explore questions in care and exchange perspectives with peers. 💬 What do you ask to better understand how psoriasis is affecting a patient’s daily life? Join the community: hubs.la/Q04CGZS80 #WorldPsoriasisDay #Psoriasis #Dermatology #TheRounds

“Is there anything you’ve stopped doing because of your skin?” That question leaves room for a different conversation. The date they cancelled. The sport they stepped away from. The clothes they’d like to wear without thinking twice. For a young person living with psoriasis, these details may be difficult to bring up. For the dermatologist listening, they can help clarify what the patient hopes to get back to. This World Psoriasis Day, what questions help you understand the impact beyond the skin? Join the Dermatology Dialogues community on The Rounds to exchange perspectives with peers who are having these conversations, too. #WorldPsoriasisDay #Psoriasis #Dermatology #TheRounds

You’ve built a dry eye treatment plan. Now comes the work of making it fit your patient’s life—and your clinic’s day. Who handles screening? How do you explain a multimodal approach? What happens between appointments? In “Optimizing the Dry Eye Clinic,” Dr. Trevor Miranda shares practical strategies from his own clinics, covering diagnostics, treatment, staff workflows, and long-term patient management. 👁️ Join the Dry Eye Community on The Rounds to watch and bring your own questions to the conversation: hubs.la/Q04CGSX20 What’s the biggest challenge in your practice right now: patient adherence, workflow, or treatment selection? #Optometry #DryEye #EyeCare

If a new colleague joined your practice tomorrow, what’s one patient safety habit you’d want them to pick up from you? This Canadian Patient Safety Week, bring yours to The Rounds. Connect with physicians across Canada, compare approaches, and learn how your peers involve patients in making care safer. What would you share first? #CanadianPatientSafetyWeek #PatientSafety #TheRounds

“I just don’t feel like myself.” It’s an opening that can take a consultation in many directions. What has changed? How is it affecting her day? What has she been hesitant to bring up? For physicians, making room for that conversation means listening beyond the first concern, without deciding too quickly what explains it. This #WorldMenopauseMonth, what helps you open a conversation about menopause with your patients? Join The Rounds to share your approach and hear how fellow physicians are navigating these discussions in practice. #WorldMenopauseMonth #MenopauseCare

Sometimes, the hardest question you hear all day comes after work: “How was your day?” You think about a difficult conversation. A decision you’re still replaying. A patient you’re worried about. Then you say, “Busy,” because you’re not sure where to begin. This World Mental Health Day, we’re thinking about the person behind the physician, the one who needs time to process, someone to listen, and support that fits the realities of the job. You deserve care, too. Connect with fellow physicians on The Rounds. Sometimes, it helps to speak with someone who understands the parts of your day that are hardest to explain. #WorldMentalHealthDay #PhysicianWellbeing #TheRounds

“But I can see just fine.” You’ve heard it from the patient who nearly cancelled. The one who hasn’t had an eye exam in years. The one who thinks a visit can wait until something feels wrong. As an optometrist, you know how much there is to look for beyond that reassurance and how much care goes into explaining why it matters. This World Sight Day, what do you say to help patients understand the value of an eye exam before they notice a change? Share your approach below, and join the optometry community on The Rounds to continue the conversation with peers across Canada. #WorldSightDay #Optometry #EyeHealth

A clear view of the retina can reveal changes that deserve attention, but the image is only the beginning of the conversation. Helping patients understand what was seen, why it matters and what comes next can turn uncertainty into a sense of direction. For eye care physicians, Healthy Aging Month is a reminder that preserving vision also means making space for questions, concerns and the realities that shape each patient’s care. #HealthyAgingMonth #EyeCare #RetinalHealth #HealthyVision #theRounds

📈 Evidence can tell us how well a vaccine works. But data alone does not always build patient confidence. As influenza season approaches, primary care conversations may begin with familiar questions: How effective is it? Do I really need it? Is it right for me? The evidence matters. But what happens next may depend on how the conversation unfolds. A new primary care discussion is taking shape. Want to learn more? Click here: hubs.la/Q04y2-Cz0

A patient may walk into a routine visit expecting a brief conversation and leave carrying questions about risk, testing, next steps and the future. In that moment, clinical clarity matters. So does the space to voice uncertainty, understand the options and share what matters most. For urologists and oncologists, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that reassurance does not always mean having every answer. Sometimes, it begins by helping a patient feel heard, informed and less alone in the decisions ahead. Some questions stay with physicians, too. On The Rounds, urologists and oncologists can discuss cases with peers, explore evolving topics and learn from the experiences shaping the field today. Because better conversations with patients often begin with a place for clinicians to continue their own. #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth #ProstateCancerCare #Urology #Oncology #theRounds

Changes in vision may be difficult to describe, easy to dismiss or simply accepted as part of daily life. Behind those changes can be a growing impact on independence, confidence and connection with the world. This Retinal Disease Awareness Month is a reminder to look beyond what is visible and listen closely to what may be changing. On The Rounds, physicians can bring questions about retinal disease to their peers, exchange clinical perspectives and learn from shared experience. #RetinalDiseaseAwarenessMonth #RetinalHealth #VisionCare #PatientCentredCare #theRounds

Dry eye rarely reveals the full picture at first glance. The symptoms may seem familiar. But a subtle clue or a common assumption, can shape what comes next.

Four clinical perspectives. One opportunity to look beyond the obvious, reconsider diagnostic clues, and navigate the complexities of dry eye care. Stay tuned. Register in advance: hubs.la/Q04xBT4L0

#Atopiceczema is visible on the skin, but much of its burden may remain unseen. Disrupted sleep, emotional strain and the constant effort of managing symptoms can shape a patient’s daily life. Looking beyond what is visible can help bring the full experience into the conversation. This Atopic Eczema Day, help break the invisible burden by making space for the story behind the skin. On The Rounds, physicians can ask questions, exchange perspectives with peers, and continue the conversation about the realities patients may not always voice. #AtopicEczemaDay #BreakTheInvisibleBurden #AtopicEczema #PatientCentredCare #theRounds

Pain does not always follow a predictable pattern, and its full impact may not be captured by a single number. A patient’s story can reveal changes in sleep, movement, concentration, relationships and daily life. Taking time to hear those details can offer valuable context for understanding their experience. This #PainAwarenessMonth is a reminder: sometimes, the finding is in the story. On The Rounds, physicians can bring questions to their peers, exchange perspectives and continue the conversation around complex patient experiences. #PainAwarenessMonth #PainCare #TheRounds

A joint is rarely the whole story. For many people living with arthritis, the impact extends into energy, daily function, work, relationships and emotional well-being. These experiences may not always be visible, but they deserve space in the consultation. This #ArthritisAwarenessMonth, continue asking beyond pain: How is fatigue affecting your day? What has become harder to do? Sometimes, a broader conversation is the beginning of more complete care.

🗞️ The discussion is now open. What makes atopic dermatitis affecting the head, neck and hands particularly challenging to manage? And how are other clinicians approaching these high-burden sites in practice? Join four Canadian dermatology experts for a focused Ask the Expert discussion on the clinical evidence, treatment considerations and practical realities surrounding moderate-to-severe AD in these areas. Submit your questions and join the conversation: hubs.la/Q04xbsdg0 📭 Open September 9–October 2. #AtopicDermatitis #Dermatology #PrimaryCare

Influenza vaccination isn’t a new conversation. So why are we still having the same problem? The answer may not lie in providing more information, but in how influenza prevention is connected to risk, patient priorities, and healthy aging. Curious about what we may be missing?
