Avram, M.D., J.D., director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Dermatology Laser and Cosmetic Center, Boston, Mass.

The benefits of innovation can go beyond one’s clinical practice, to ultimately improve uses of devices for patients, generally, Dr. Avram told colleagues during the 36th Annual Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery (ASLMS 2016), Boston, Mass.

The topic is important for the industry, as ASLMS’s mission is to promote innovation with devices in medicine. But it’s also important for physicians and their patients, according to Dr. Avram.
