De dermatoloog van de toekomst

In the near future, medical and cross-organizational healthcare developments will possibly lead to major changes in our health care system. The future dermatologist will be better armed for these expected changes when he or she has obtained more knowledge of these expected changes and has learned specific helpful skills to cope with these changes. An example of this is obtaining more knowledge on the current process of relocation of specific parts of the Dutch healthcare system, which aims to reduce healthcare costs by moving low-complex care outside (academic) hospitals. The dermatologist of the future will also be helped by obtaining more knowledge and skills in medical leadership. The future developments will also require more skills in personal, clinical and administrative leadership in healthcare professionals. Awareness of leadership skills will help the dermatologist (in training) to better cope with the changing healthcare landscape.
