Can skin cancer medicine improve work-life balance?

Written by HealthCert Education | Aug 11, 2026, 5:10:05 AM

How can primary care physicians build skin cancer medicine into a busy practice without sacrificing work-life balance?

As Dr Robert West explains, developing a focus on skin cancer medicine requires an initial investment of time and commitment, but can ultimately create greater flexibility and financial rewards.

He shares how incorporating procedures into his own practice has allowed him to rethink how he spends his working hours, while also giving him more time for family, vacations, and the activities he enjoys outside medicine.

This conversation also explores the financial return of skin cancer procedures and how this can influence the amount of time a physician chooses to dedicate to skin cancer medicine.

Watch the video below to hear Dr West discuss the practical realities of making skin cancer medicine part of primary care.
