About
Beneath the Surface by DFPC is a weekly dermatology newsletter for primary care clinicians, sent every Thursday: rash recognition, skin cancer screening, acne, eczema, psoriasis and when to refer.
Each issue covers practical, evidence-based dermatology for the clinic you actually work in: recognizing common rashes, skin cancer screening and biopsy decisions, acne, eczema and psoriasis management, and knowing when to refer.
It is published by Derm for Primary Care (DFPC), whose mission is to provide high quality, accessible, easy-to-use online dermatology training for all healthcare practitioners, leading to improved treatment outcomes.
