The Skin Always Tells a Story. Inside and Out Teaches You How to Read It.

Some of the hardest cases in small animal medicine are not hard because the answer is rare. They are hard because the answer is hiding in plain sight — written on the skin of a patient whose real problem has nothing to do with the skin at all.

That is the premise behind Inside and Out, Vet Candy's newest on-demand CE series — and it is unlike anything else in veterinary continuing education right now. Three episodes. Three mystery cases. Two of the most brilliant specialist minds in the profession sitting down together to show you exactly how they think when a case stops making sense.

Meet the Specialists

Dr. Joya Griffin is a board-certified veterinary dermatologist who has become one of the most trusted and recognizable voices in veterinary education. If you have watched Dermatology Secrets on Vet Candy you already know what she brings to a case — clarity, precision, and the rare ability to make complex dermatology feel completely accessible. Dr. Forrest Cummings is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, a board-certified internist whose depth of clinical knowledge in endocrinology, systemic disease, and complex case management is exactly what these cases demand.

Separately they are extraordinary. Together they are something the veterinary profession has not seen in a CE format before.

Three Cases. Three Puzzles. One Framework.

Inside and Out is built around a talk show format that puts you in the room with the specialists as they work through each case in real time. You are not watching a lecture. You are watching two experts think — challenge each other, push back, reconsider, and ultimately arrive at diagnoses that neither specialty could have reached working alone.

Episode 1, Crusty, Hard, and Mysterious, opens with a dog presenting with progressive hyperkeratotic skin lesions on the muzzle and footpads that have not responded to antibiotics or antifungal treatment. The skin findings are striking. But the real story is what the skin is trying to tell you about what is happening systemically — and learning to read that story is exactly what this episode teaches.

Episode 2, Swimming, Skin, and Secrets, follows a water-loving patient with chronic skin disease and recurring ear and paw infections that keep coming back no matter what treatment is applied. The environmental history is interesting. The infection pattern is telling. And the internal medicine diagnosis hiding underneath the dermatologic presentation is one that every veterinary professional needs to have on their radar.

Episode 3, Rashes, Riddles, and Revelations, is the one that will stay with you. A complex dermatologic picture driven entirely by internal medicine pathology — a case that stumped the primary care team and ultimately required both dermatohistopathology and specialist-to-specialist consultation to unravel. Dr. Griffin and Dr. Cummings walk you through every decision point, every diagnostic pivot, and every moment where the case could have gone in the wrong direction without the right clinical reasoning framework.

Why This CE Is Different

The talk show format is not just more entertaining — it is more effective. Watching two specialists collaborate in real time models exactly the kind of clinical reasoning that turns a confusing case into a solvable one. You are not memorizing facts. You are absorbing a way of thinking that you can bring into your next difficult case.

And every episode is built around something the veterinary profession genuinely needs more of — the honest, unscripted conversation between specialists who have seen these cases from both sides of the diagnostic workup. Dermatology does not exist in isolation. Internal medicine does not exist in isolation. Inside and Out shows you what happens when you stop treating them that way.
