I'm reading a residency guide to decide which specialty I'd like to go into. I leaned towards optho in ugrad. But my dad's friend is a dermatologist, and he is one of the happiest, most content physicians I know. I do have a concern which was brought up by the book:
"With the increase in managed car, many patients who once would have been referred to Dermatologists are now being treated by primary care practitioners, decreasing the need for Dermatologists."
Question:
How legitimate is this statement?
What can I do about it if I become a dermatologist?
