Abstract
As dermatologists endeavor to meet growing patient demand, novel care models are transforming how the field is practiced. Physician extenders-which include physicians not board certified in dermatology, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners-can play a pivotal role in bridging health care disparities and reducing health care expenditures. Nevertheless, while the dermatologic workforce is adapting to evolving public needs, patient safety must remain the key priority when negotiating changes in scope of practice. Given that the current literature highlights concerning differences in diagnostic accuracy and procedural safety between different providers, further evidence is needed to help guide health care policies and care models.
