Streamlining Dermatology Workflows and Team Dynamics feat. Melissa DelFino

Melissa DelFino believes that creating a culture of education allows staff to ask questions and be part of the patient experience. In this episode of That’s Derm Good!, Melissa discusses why she founded Modern Distinction (https://moderndistinction.com/about/) and how she reframes what operational excellence looks like in dermatology practices.  DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical or health advice. This podcast does not substitute medical treatment. Always consult a doctor or dermatologist regarding medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. Melissa shares her unconventional path from the restaurant industry to dermatology and explains how her academic backgrounds in psychology and sociology shape her thinking on leadership, team dynamics, and communication. What becomes clear very quickly in this interview is that workflows aren’t just about efficiency; they’re about people. Melissa emphasizes that strong collaboration, thoughtful hiring, and clear communication directly impact not only staff morale but also the patient experience. Throughout the conversation, Janelle and Melissa unpack the realities of running a modern dermatology practice: the difficulty of finding the right team members, the necessity of documentation and structured training, and the ongoing need for education in a fast-moving healthcare environment. Melissa highlights emotional intelligence as a critical, but often overlooked, skill in healthcare settings, advocating for workplaces where staff feel safe expressing concerns, learning from one another, and growing together.  Melissa DelFino speaks candidly about external pressures, from insurance complexities to rising patient expectations, and how intentional systems can help teams navigate these challenges without burning out. This episode serves as a reminder that sustainable success in dermatology doesn’t come from hustle alone, but from building supportive cultures, investing in people, and creating systems that allow both teams and patients to thrive.
