PAs and Derm
Florida PA Krystie Lennox, a recent addition to the ADVANCE editorial advisory board, wrote an article about dermatology PAs for the November 2007 issue of Skin & Aging.
Physician assistants can provide a vast array of traditional and non-traditional services within dermatology practices. According to dermatologists interviewed for this article, practices that utilize PAs have higher patient satisfaction (most likely because they are to focus on high-level patient interactions), decreased waiting time, more efficient interactions with patients, and decreased appointment wait lists.
The journal's editor featured the article in her editorial, "So, Is It Time for You to Consider Hiring a PA?"
