Combined Pediatric Rheumatology/Dermatology Clinics: Benefits and Challenges.

Background/objectives: Integrated care models, like combined rheumatology/dermatology clinics (RDCs), facilitate efficient coordination between specialists and provide comprehensive care. Given the limited literature on pediatric RDC logistics, outcomes, benefits and, challenges, we comprehensively characterized our patient cohort at the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital RDC and surveyed pediatric dermatologists participating in RDCs.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 71 patients new to the UCSF Pediatric RDC between September 2017 and September 2023.

Pediatric Dermatology eConsultation in Academic Centers: A Collaborative Model for Optimized Outpatient Care.

Background/objective: The demand for pediatric dermatology services in the U.S. is high, especially at large academic healthcare centers.

Drop Retention and Departure in Adiabatic Shear Flow on Structured Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

Drops are retained or held on surfaces due to a retention force exerted on the drop by the surface. This retention force is a function of the surface tension of the liquid, drop geometry, and the contact angle between the drop and the surface. When external or body forces exceed the retention force, the drop begins to move.

Interdisciplinary reflection by higher education academics using teaching squares: A scoping review.

Objective: To explore the use of teaching squares by interdisciplinary Higher Education (HE) academics when engaging in a cycle of teaching reflection.

Design: A scoping review of published and unpublished research between 2012 and 2022.

Data Sources: Systematic search of ten (10) electronic databases and hand searching of reference lists identified 13 studies for review.

Pediatric dermatology eConsultation: Insights to reduce barriers to utilization and increase access to care.

Provider-to-provider outpatient pediatric dermatology eConsultation services increase access to care, but barriers exist that may prevent eConsult implementation and survival. We deployed cross-sectional surveys to referring pediatric primary care physicians and consulting pediatric dermatologists participating in our eConsult program to identify barriers to utilization and sustainability. Our data suggest that eConsultation increases access to care and offers iterative educational opportunities for primary care providers, which may ultimately reduce office referrals for common outpatient skin issues.
