A cross-sectional analysis of Medicaid acceptance among US dermatology residency training programs

Abstract

To the Editor: As few as 15.5% of nonacademic adult medical dermatology practices accept patients covered by Medicaid, the primary insurer for low-income and disabled Americans.1 However, Medicaid acceptance among academic dermatology training sites is unknown. To assess trainee exposure to this patient population, we cross-sectionally investigated Medicaid acceptance rates across dermatology training sites.
