Results. Level of supply of dermatovenerologists in the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2021. amounted to 0.54 per 10 thousand population.

For the period 2017-2021 a decrease in the number of visits to a dermatovenerologist for skin diseases was established by 16.3% (per rural resident from 0.29 to 0.24 visits per resident), as well as a decrease in the number of visits to a dermatovenerologist by 22.0% . (from 4.63 to 3.61 visits per patient). An extremely low volume of telemedicine consultations was revealed, which is a significant factor in reducing the availability of medical care for the rural population. Conclusions. In the Republic of Bashkortostan in recent years, the provision of dermatovenerologists for the rural population remains insufficient.
