Abstract
THE CHANGING health care system has decreased patient access to all specialists, including dermatologists. Increasingly, patients are seeking care for skin problems from other physicians, and a greater number and variety of physicians are now treating skin diseases.1-4 Nondermatologists have historically handled most of the patient visits for skin disease.2 In fact, about 60% of all cutaneous diagnoses are made by nondermatologists.5This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
