Combined Dermatology-Rheumatology Clinics Benefits Patients

Healio reports that patients followed in a combined Dermatology and Rheumatology clinic in Canada revealed high patient satisfaction. 

The vast majority liked being seen by a dermatologist and a rheumatologist.  The benefits included combined consultations, information sharing, time provided for care and better patient education. 

This model has proven effective at Northwestern University in a model Rheum-Derm clinic established by Drs. Eric Ruderman and Ken Gordon.
