Kavita Mariwalla is a dermatologist and author based in Long Island, New York. She is acknowledged as a leading scholar in skin cancer and aesthetic and medical dermatology and is the president-elect of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.
Mariwalla grew up in New York and was immersed in the medical field from an early age. Both her parents were doctors: her father a gastroenterologist and her mother a pediatrician. [1] She attended Yale University as an undergraduate and earned an MD at the Yale University School of Medicine as well. After completing a year in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, she finished her residency in dermatology at Yale, where she served as chief resident. [2]
Mariewalla is a double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon [3] and was an assistant professor at Stony Brook University. [1] Before starting her practice in Long Island, she was the director of cutaneous oncology at St. Luke's Roosevelt and Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan. [4]
Widely acknowledged as a leader in skin cancer and aesthetic and medical dermatology, Mariwalla is the author of several books, including the recent The Business of Dermatology (co-authored with Jeffrey Dover). [5] She has published extensively in medical journals, on subjects ranging from standardized criteria for skin quality [6] to accurately determining shades of skin color. [7] Mariwalla is also an advocate of "cultural competency" in order to best serve diverse patients [8] and has spoken on how practices like anti-aging may differ between different skin tones.
Mariwalla is passionate about dermatologic surgical education and is a founding member of Boards University. [9] Boards University aims to "change the way medical education is delivered" while ensuring that "learning from leaders is accessible". During the pandemic, she founded the 21@21 initiative on social media to help educate dermatology residents and Mohs surgeons. It is still used as a resource by residents preparing for exams. [3] Her book, Primer in Dermatologic Surgery, is also widely used by students and doctors alike.
Mariwalla has appeared on a number of prominent media outlets, including NBC New York. [10] She has also lent her expertise to a variety of beauty magazines and publications, including Vogue [11] and Allure, [12] as well as serving on the Byrdie Beauty & Wellness Board. [2] Her efforts to maintain her dermatology practice during the Covid pandemic have been reported in magazines including Bizwomen. [13] Her emphasis for women to care for their skin has been reported by CBS. [14]
