The role of pharmacists in dermatology: a cross-sectional evaluation of the educational needs, knowledge, and practices of community pharmacists regarding the use of topical medications in chronic dermatological diseases
CPs had multiple knowledge gaps in choosing appropriate treatments and providing use instructions regarding dermatological medications. Moreover, the CPs stressed the need to improve their knowledge about dermatological care. The implementation of continuous professional development interventions and enhancing the dermatological content of undergraduate programs are recommended to meet these education needs.
