Take-Away Messages: 1. Dermatitis, psoriasis, cutaneous lupus and alopecia are highly represented in rheumatologic patients seen in our clinic. 2. Skin problems in rheumatologic patients may not be related to the underlying condition. 3. Rheumatologists and dermatologists can both benefit from being aware of the dermatologic conditions that rheumatologic patients are experiencing. Declaration of conflict: No authors have any conflicts to declare that would impact this project Contact: michaelsamycia@gmail.com

2 Background Objectives and Methods There is considerable overlap between many dermatologic and rheumatologic conditions Lupus, psoriasis, scleroderma, dermatomyositis The purpose of this study is to gather information to be used for quality improvement and to help guide the education of rheumatologists, dermatologists, residents and medical students in our clinic. Diagnosis and management of these conditions are complex and often require multi-disciplinary collaboration We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all DART patients from the two-year period, July 2011 to June The combined Rheumatology and Dermatology Treatment Clinic (DART Clinic) in Vancouver is a novel multi-disciplinary clinic, where patients are concomitantly assessed by both a rheumatologist and dermatologist. The data collected includes: patient age, gender, dermatologic diagnosis, rheumatologic diagnosis, biopsies performed, treatment, number of followup visits, and co-morbidities. It is attended by Dr. Sheila Au, Dr. Kamran Shojania as well as rheumatology and dermatology residents. We also take family practice, physiatry, and oral medicine and pathology residents. Initially a ½ day clinic, the clinic now sees patients, 1 day per week. Results Total Patients Seen Median Age - 48 yo Female Patients Median Age yo Male Patients - 72 Median Age - 49 yo 78 Patients had skin biopsies

7 What s Next? Take home messages 1) Dermatitis, psoriasis, cutaneous lupus and alopecia are highly represented in rheumatologic patients seen in our clinic 2) Skin problems in rheumatologic patients may not be related to the underlying condition 3) Rheumatologists and dermatologists can both benefit from being aware of the dermatologic conditions that rheumatologic patients are experiencing Cutaneous Olyarteritis Nodosa We have completed a patient satisfaction survey and are currently compiling our results. Next, we hope to survey referring physicians. Using the data we collected, we have already begun altering educational seminars for rheumatology and dermatology trainees. For example, teaching rheumatology residents diagnosis and management of conditions such as alopecia and dermatitis Funding has been obtained for practicing dermatologists and rheumatologists to spend preceptorship time in the clinic More collaborative projects and publications Discoid Lupus Erythema elevatinum diutinum Pustular psoriasis from antitnf-a
