Skin Care Training

Nearly every office in which Dr. Short worked, from residency through her fellowship training, had a skin care program, so her skin care experience was comprehensive.  This included the use of prescription and non-prescription medications to improve skin health.  In addition, Dr. Short worked with one of the national representatives/trainers for the BioMedic system in the office in Miami.
