Skin problems are a common reason for visiting a family physician. For the majority of patients with skin problems, their first point of contact is not a board-certified dermatologist, but a family physician. As family physicians are responsible for providing therapy in a wide variety of other medical fields, it can be challenging to keep up with the latest advances in a specialized field like dermatology.

To answer this demand, Skin Therapy Letter Family Practice Edition has been offering its support to family physicians since 2005. The focus of this publication is to help educate and support primary care practitioners in the area of dermatology. The iPad/iPhone version of Skin Therapy Letter Family Practice Edition© provides medical professionals with instant access to all published articles. Powerful search functionality and intuitive navigation tools allow the user to find needed information quickly and with high degree of relevancy. The application is updated automatically to include recently published articles.
