Thank you for Subscribing to Healthcare Business Review Weekly Brief
The demand for effective dermatological care continues to rise. Yet, dermatologists in the U.S. are unevenly distributed — 35 percent are concentrated in the 100 most densely populated areas, while only 1.5 percent serve the least populated regions. This leaves many healthcare systems without access to full-time dermatology services, as 75 percent of dermatologists work in small, private practices. And it’s not just hospitals feeling the pinch—outpatient clinics and GPs are overwhelmed too, with up to one in four patients needing dermatological care immediately after an initial general consultation.
