Board certification rates varied, with an increase over time in non\u2010board\u2010eligible fellow applicants. The geographic distribution of fellowship\u2010trained pediatric dermatologists showed regional disparities.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Limitations<\/jats:title>\n Some pediatric dermatology fellows may enter fellowship outside of the official match process, not captured in the data. We used a public search engine for practice data, and it is possible that misclassification occurred.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n In recent decades, the dire need for pediatric dermatologists has exceeded the available workforce, with numerous fellowship programs remaining unfilled.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.70286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T00:09:12Z","timestamp":1781482152000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Critical Subspecialist Gap in Pediatric Dermatology: Trends in Fellowship Data From 2009 to 2023"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3759-3720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christina","family":"Druskovich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine University of Utah Salt Lake City Utah USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2869-2718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yvonne E.","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology (Division of Pediatric Dermatology) and Pediatrics Medical College of Wisconsin Milwaukee Wisconsin USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8641-6730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esteban","family":"Fernandez\u2010Faith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Ohio State University College of Medicine Columbus Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kimberly A.","family":"Horii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City Missouri USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harper","family":"Price","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology Phoenix Children's Hospital Phoenix Arizona USA"},{"name":"University of Arizona College of Medicine\u2010Phoenix Phoenix Arizona USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.14369"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/pde.12362"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"Young Families Have Not Returned to Large Cities Post\u2010Pandemic","author":"Sandhovel A.","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","unstructured":"ACGME \u2013 Accreditation Data System (ADS).
