title: The dermatologist and workers' compensation. Theory and practice.
abstract: Workers' compensation law is poorly understood by many physicians, including dermatologists. The tenets of this law throughout the country are basic and fairly straight forward, and the most important of them are nearly the same for all of the states. By understanding how the law operates and what is required of physicians, helping patients with their work-related dermatoses can be a gratifying experience.
