She then pursued medical studies at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, where she obtained her master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies in 2002

• Medical Conditions
• Skin Cancer
• Actinic Keratosis
• Basal Cell Carcinoma
• Dysplastic Nevus
• Malignant Melanoma
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The primary cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation—most often from the sun, but also from artificial sources like sunlamps and tanning booths. In fact, researchers believe that our quest for the perfect tan, an increase in outdoor activities, and perhaps the thinning of the earth’s protective ozone layer are behind the alarming rise we’re now seeing in skin cancers.
