Board certified dermatologist & fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon advancing rural access, education, and dermatology innovation
I refuse to accept outdated models of training and access. My work expands care in rural and under-resourced regions, advances surgical education beyond textbooks, and establishes new pathways for the next generation of dermatology leaders and innovators.
“I am not here to fit into old models. I am here to design what dermatology needs next.” - Dr. Misty Eleryan
I founded Chosen Dermatology Co. to partner with health systems and institutions in expanding dermatologic surgery and skin cancer care where it is most needed. We build clinical structures that deliver efficiency, precision, and excellence in regions where access is scarce, and we help design pathways that integrate new tools and evidence‑based approaches into real‑world practice.
I created Beyond the Books™ to redefine surgical education. It is a framework that teaches operative judgment, perioperative decision-making, and longitudinal surgical care through hands-on experience.
I originated this model in dermatology to address systemic gaps in opportunity and advancement. The Mentorship, Allyship, and Sponsorship (MAS) framework creates durable pathways for professionals to access training, advocacy, and sponsorship that moves careers forward.

Entire regions in the U.S. remain without Mohs surgeons. Expanding access is not outreach; it is life-saving infrastructure.

Most residency programs provide limited surgical exposure. Beyond the Books™ fills that gap, equipping trainees for mastery, not minimal competency.

The future of dermatology depends on who is trained, where they serve, and how institutions prepare them to lead and innovate.

Dr. Misty Eleryan is sought after by leading institutions and health systems for her expertise in dermatologic surgery, education, and clinical leadership. She is the co-editor of The Full Spectrum of Dermatology: A Diverse and Inclusive Atlas, a groundbreaking reference used worldwide to improve diagnostic accuracy across all skin tones.
Dr. Eleryan partners with global skincare brands and medical organizations, serves as a featured speaker and panelist at national dermatology conferences, and is a published author in academic journals advancing dermatologic practice and training.
