Educating the public — skin healthy: educating your patients in waiting rooms and on the go
The AAD’s skin healthy, a print and digital magazine featuring your expert insight, made its debut in 2020. Last year, the Academy disseminated over 950,000 issues to dermatology offices across the country, which helped educate patients about common skin conditions that dermatologists treat and offered your recommendations for protecting and keeping patients’ skin healthy year-round.
The summer and winter 2021 issues featured 62 AAD members and highlighted your expertise on diseases like skin cancer, eczema, melasma, and acne-prone skin. An “Ask the Expert” piece on treating scars and an article titled “What you need to know about hair loss and hair restoration” showcased you as the experts.
