2. Provider-Only Platform
DermPro Connect is intended for eligible healthcare professionals and approved Expert Faculty. It is not intended for patients, consumers, caregivers, or members of the general public.
Users may be asked to provide professional, credential, or profile information so DermPro Connect can support account review, user eligibility, Expert Faculty review, platform access, and related administrative workflows.

DermPro Connect does not provide medical care, diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions, emergency services, or direct patient services. DermPro Connect is not a healthcare provider, medical group, hospital, payer, insurer, pharmacy, or emergency service.
Platform use does not create a provider-patient relationship between any patient and DermPro Connect or between any patient and Expert Faculty.
DermPro Connect should not be used for urgent or emergent situations. If a patient may require emergency services, users must follow their local emergency protocols, including calling 911 in the United States or the appropriate emergency service in their jurisdiction.
4. Educational Peer Input Only
Expert Educational Reviews, Educational Case Discussions, Peer Input, and Live Peer Education Sessions are educational, informational, and peer-to-peer in nature.
Any information provided through the platform is intended to support professional learning and case-based education. It is not a substitute for a user’s own training, documentation, clinical reasoning, institutional policies, licensing obligations, or professional responsibilities.

Before submitting any educational case information, users must remove or obscure patient identifiers, including patient names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, medical record numbers, account numbers, insurance identifiers, full-face photographs, image metadata, unique identifying marks when not necessary, and any other information that could reasonably identify a patient.

6. Independent Professional Judgment
Healthcare professionals using DermPro Connect remain responsible for their own independent professional judgment, documentation, follow-up, prescribing decisions, referrals, patient communications, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, institutional policies, and professional standards.
Users should evaluate any educational peer input in the context of their own professional obligations, available information, local standards, and the needs of the situation.
7. Expert Faculty Role
Expert Faculty provide educational, peer-to-peer input based on de-identified information submitted through the platform. Expert Faculty do not assume responsibility for the submitting user’s professional decisions or for any patient relationship outside the platform.

8. AI-Assisted Matching
DermPro Connect may use automated tools, matching logic, artificial intelligence, or similar technology to support routing, scheduling, case organization, user experience, and Expert Faculty matching.
These tools are intended to support platform workflow. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, monitor, predict, or manage any disease or condition. They should not be relied upon as medical advice or as the sole basis for any professional decision.
9. Live Peer Education Sessions
Live Peer Education Sessions are intended to be real-time educational discussions between authorized provider users. They should use de-identified information only.
DermPro Connect does not currently record, transcribe, or store live session audio, video, or transcripts. The platform may retain administrative records related to live sessions, such as scheduling data, attendance indicators, transaction records, technical logs, security logs, and support records.
If DermPro Connect later introduces recording, transcription, or session storage features, applicable notices and consent workflows will be updated before those features are made available.
