U040 Dermatology on Duty: Managing Active Duty Military Members in your Practice
DESCRIPTION
Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket
In 2017, the National Defense Authorization Act took steps to reduce the number of active duty (AD) dermatologists serving in the U.S. Military. Although recent legislation has taken steps to curtail this reduction, there is still a dearth of AD dermatologists to care for a large population of active duty military members, veterans and retirees and military family members. As a result, more and more military members and their families are seeing civilian dermatologists who must manage their medical care while keeping in mind their military status.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Describe the nuances within and between the branches of service with regards to deployment tempo, access to resources and duty restrictions related to dermatologic conditions
Define the various forms of duty restrictions that can occur for servicemembers as a result of dermatologic conditions to help to prepare civilian dermatologists to see and treat military service members in their practice, including introducing the concept of the 'No Shave Chit' for military members, 'Down chits' for pilots and aircrew and initiating LIMDU requests for complex, debilitating conditions as well as the implications of overseas screenings for service members and family members.
Discuss common dermatologic disorders seen more frequently in military members or the military population, including pseudofolliculitis barbae, acne keloidalis nuchae, hidradenitis suppurativa and certain allergic contact dermatoses as well as various treatment algorithms related to these conditions in service members.
