From 1968 to 1973, the number of dermatologists in the United States per 100,000 population gradually increased from 1.6 to 1.8, with the West and Northeast regions showing relatively higher rates and the South and North Central regions showing relatively lower rates. The variation in rate, considered by geographic divisions, can be analyzed to identify areas in the United States that may be in need of additional dermatologists. Given the current number of dermatologists being certified by the American Board of Dermatology and given the current death rate, there appear to be a sufficient number of dermatologists to ensure future growth.
1968年至1973年期间，美国每10万人口中皮肤科医生的数量从1.6人逐渐增加到1.8人，其中西部和东北部地区的增长率相对较高，南部和中北部地区的增长率相对较低。按地理区域划分的增长率差异可用于分析，以确定美国可能需要增加皮肤科医生的地区。考虑到目前美国皮肤科委员会认证的皮肤科医生数量以及当前的死亡率，似乎有足够数量的皮肤科医生来确保未来的增长。
