“…8 There has been growing focus on the national shortage of dermatologists over the last 2 decades. 9,10 With an aging population and rising incidence of skin cancer, this undersupply is projected to increase and disproportionately impact ethnic minorities as well as those from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. 8,9,[11][12][13][14] These trends are of particular importance to residents and medical trainees.…”

“…18 The unique demographic makeup of hospital-based resident clinics raises questions about the preparedness and comfort of resident physicians in managing the nuances of health care delivery in these settings. 10 Providing equitable care to marginalized populations within the constraints of 15-to 30-minute visits can be challenging to physicians and trainees. Even clinicians with the best of intentions may be impeded by a lack of familiarity with the daily realities of impoverished living conditions, implicit prejudice against people living in poverty, and adapting recommendations to varying levels of health literacy among patients.…”

A chart review was performed of all patients diagnosed with infantile hemangioma in the pediatric dermatology clinic to determine whether distance traveled by the patient affected adherence to follow-up and treatment plans. An increase in distance was associated with an increase in likelihood of nonadherence to treatment or follow-up plans. Compared to patients who lived within 10 miles of a pediatric dermatologist, families who lived farther away were less likely to adhere to treatment plans. Families who traveled over 20 miles to clinic were 7.38 times more likely to be nonadherent to the treatment plan than those who traveled 0-10 miles.

“…2,3 The discovery of BP antigen isoforms in the central nervous system (CNS) has raised the hypothesis of a cross-reaction between the skin and the CNS. 4,5 The aim of this study was to characterize the epidermal targets for the basement membrane zone (BMZ) autoantibodies in patients with BP and MS and to investigate the presence of these antibodies in patients with MS in the absence of BP. Six patients with concomitant MS and BP and 31 patients with MS were identified.…”
