This partnership represents the first nationwide point-of-care patient education partnership for the AAD and the largest dermatology partnership for ContextMedia.

“Patients appreciate the trusted and credible health information they receive from their dermatologists during in-office counseling, and research has shown the benefits of patient education, including greater treatment compliance and overall patient satisfaction,” said Rebecca C. Tung, MD, chair of the AAD’s Public Education Committee. “Through this partnership, the AAD will expand the reach of important skin, hair and nail health information.”
