“…86 Dermatology PAs diagnose and treat skin conditions, perform surgeries (including biopsies and excisions), and write prescriptions. 87 A survey of American Academy of Dermatology members found that 29.6% of dermatologists used PAs, NPs, or both in their practices in 2007, a 43% increase from 2002.

“…No evidence has been gathered regarding the wait-times to see these extenders (or to compare them to the wait-times of their supervising physicians). [7][8][9][10][11] To answer remaining questions about wait-times in dermatology, we undertook a study utilizing scripted fictitious patient calls to a large sample of US dermatologists. In an effort to determine access for patients with an urgent problem, the simulated patients reported having a changing mole.…”

Physician shortages and ever-increasing patient volume are longstanding problems in medicine. The problem is particularly acute in specialties such as dermatology and dermatopathology: dermatologists account for only 1 percent of US physicians and are underrepresented in resource-constrained areas [1,2]. In developing countries, rural and displaced communities, and regions affected by war, natural disasters, epidemics, and influxes of immigrants and refugees, these shortages of doctors are even more severe [3].Telemedicine provides a consultation platform for triage, diagnosis, and management decisions and plays a fundamental role in humanitarian efforts to increase access to care in remote areas, reduce health inequities, and strengthen health systems in the developing world [4]. The increasing use of information and communication technologies is transforming medicine and amplifying access to expertise to relieve suffering in areas of greatest need.
