Amid ongoing debate about the evolution of dermatology practice settings and the role of equity-backing in the specialty, new AAD survey data indicates that dermatologists have maintained both primary ownership and management of their practices.

Management of dermatology practices follows a similar trend, with dermatologists either managing (or serving as at least one of the managers) in more than 60% of practices.
