Meaningful connections, community impact make job rewarding for dermatologist

I’m grateful for the positive office culture and collaborative environment that Outpatient Care Dublin provides on a daily basis. Each time a patient recounts a positive interaction is a reminder that I’m proud to be part of this team.

A passion for supporting patients through community involvement drives dermatologist Patricia Malerich, MD, in her efforts to be an approachable and trusted source of medical information for skin care.

“With each clinic visit, I enjoy educating patients and advocating to improve their skin health,” says Dr. Malerich, director of wellness in the Department of Dermatology. “Making meaningful connections with patients and helping to improve the quality of life of others in the community are the most rewarding aspects of my job.”

At Ohio State Outpatient Care Dublin, Dr. Malerich sees patients with a variety of skin conditions and concerns. “Being a physician at Ohio State affords me the opportunity to make an impactful difference while being surrounded by talented and motivated people with similar goals,” says Dr. Malerich, a clinical assistant professor of Dermatology in The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

She says she’s grateful for the positive office culture and collaborative environment she experiences daily.

“Each time a patient recounts a positive interaction, whether it be with the front desk staff, at the lab or with another clinician in the building, it’s a reminder that I’m proud to be part of this team,” she says.
