Abstract
The invasion of the turf of medicine by non-physician practitioners (NPPs) has not spared dermatology. The reasons behind this phenomenon are complex, as so many political issues are; some of them may be reasonable, other concerning. An undeniable fact is that patients are being cared for by medical providers with significantly lower levels of education than physicians. The proper practice of dermatology, a "visual specialty," is unquestionably dependent on experience complemented by scientific information; for this, years of post-graduate education are required. My purpose is to expose, as I was invited to do and with limitations, my opinions about the concept of having "midlevels," providing inadequately supervised medical care to patients afflicted by skin disease.
