Unmet dermatologic needs of the uninsured patient population are important to identify and address, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced additional barriers of access to care. We describe the successful collaboration between a student-run free clinic and dermatology practice since 2012, highlighting excellent time to appointment intervals and resolution rates as well as the associated modest financial cost. We believe that the information provided in our report may serve as a proof of concept and facilitate the implementation of such collaborations throughout the United States.
未满足的无保险患者群体的皮肤科需求是需要识别和解决的，尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行引入了更多获得医疗服务的障碍的情况下。自 2012 年以来，我们描述了一家学生经营的免费诊所和皮肤科诊所之间的成功合作，重点介绍了出色的预约间隔和解决率以及相关的适度财务成本。我们相信，我们报告中提供的信息可以作为一个概念验证，并促进在美国各地实施这种合作。
