Dermal Clinicians are collaborative allied health professionals. The skin is the body's largest organ. Its function and appearance are linked to all other systems within the body. ​ Dermal Clinicians are independent allied health professionals who have expertise in managing skin health and common skin problems related to healing and repair or dysfunction and disease of the skin. ​ Dermal Clinicians can play a role in early detection of not only skin conditions and disorders but also underlying medical conditions. In these situations, they will refer to and work with medical and other allied health professionals for appropriate diagnosis and management in order to achieve optimal outcomes for their clients (patients). ​ Dermal Clinicians can be integrated into chronic disease and medical management plans to assist with skin changes and problems that can occur with medical interventions as well as medications.
