MedX Health Corp. has appointed Paul Cohen, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, as medical spokesperson.
“Dr. Cohen is a physician renowned across North America for his work as a dermatologist focused on melanoma awareness. He is a leader in the field of dermatological medicine, and we are honored to have him as our medical spokesperson,” said Michael Druhan, president of Dermatology Services. “Paul was an early adopter of our teledermatology screening platform, and he has seen first-hand the positive impact our technology has on people’s lives. Having Dr. Cohen as our medical spokesperson is meaningful, and we believe his insights will help MedX increase awareness of the importance of early screening of suspicious moles and lesions, especially for the at-risk population.”
Cohen is also a diplomat of the American Board of Dermatology and is a member of numerous associations, including the Canadian Dermatological Association and the Toronto Dermatological Society. He was awarded the Ben Fisher Galderma fellowship in clinical dermatology, where he completed additional training in cosmetic, surgical and pediatric dermatology.
“The value of MedX’s technology that helps save lives is undeniable. Skin cancer rates are rising expeditiously around the world, and in some areas of the globe, it’s bordering on epidemic levels. Having access to MedX’s teledermatology platform for the at-risk population would be a game-changer and would save countless lives globally,” Cohen stated.
Cohen has been using MedX’s SIAscopy screening technology in his practice and has also provided patient skin assessments for numerous MedX pilot projects. “MedX’s teledermatology platform allows me to confidently assess patients, and it fits perfectly in my workflow, which allows me to see more patients without compromising quality care,” he noted.
