Abstract
Objectives: To find out what a dermatology consultant saw and did in a northern setting. Study design and methods: The paper includes a summary of the clinical experience related to treating skin diseases over 11 years that involved 22 week-long visits to Baffin Island. Results: A total of 2, 240 visits occurred and included numerous store and forward consultations.

Conclusions: A dermatology consultation can be a useful addition to the care of patients in northern climates .
