Skinmed. 2024 Aug 2;22(3):168-170. eCollection 2024.

Abstract

Increased turnover and burnout of healthcare workers because of the COVID-19 pandemic made hiring ancillary staff in dermatology clinics a challenging task. As the dermatologic requirements of an aging population grow, demand for ancillary staff has also increased. We reviewed evidence-based strategies, best practices, and specific examples pertinent to dermatology to improve recruitment, hiring, and retention of non-physician staff in dermatology clinics.
