Abstract
There is paucity of research available regarding the epidemiological characteristics of patients attending dermatology outpatient services in rural Australia. We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients attending a public dermatology clinic established at Dubbo Base Hospital in rural New South Wales. The broad range of dermatological presentations encountered, coupled with the brisk uptake of services by remote patients, highlights the ongoing need for specialist dermatology services in underserved rural communities.
