Pediatric Dermatology Multidisciplinary Clinics

Pediatric dermatologists serve as key members of multidisciplinary clinics (MDCs), during which providers from at least two specialties engage in a visit with a patient. Limited studies have explored the broader landscape of pediatric dermatology MDCs. A total of 39 pediatric dermatology division leaders (59% response rate) from the Society of Pediatric Dermatology completed a survey characterizing the structure, benefits, and challenges of these clinics. Survey results suggested that MDCs provide significant value in inter-specialty learning and complex patient management, but face challenges related to time, space, and financial burden.
