Our Audience

Dermatology PAs, NPs, and their physician colleagues are vital in delivering exceptional dermatologic care across the United States. They collaborate in diverse settings, including private practices, dermatology groups, multi-specialty groups, hospital systems, HMOs, and other organizations.

Unifying these professionals is their commitment to practicing at the pinnacle of their expertise and their dedication to lifelong learning.

With over 10,000 dermatology PAs and NPs and 12,000 dermatologists providing clinical care nationwide, it's essential to recognize the unique academic and career needs of PAs and NPs in this specialty.

Existing career resources often overlook the unique needs of dermatology PAs and NPs. To bridge this gap, we are committed to developing tailored career support, fostering continuous learning, and advancing professional growth through the following actions:

• Offering tailored continuing education programs and certification support
• Advocating for increased access to peer-reviewed journals and industry publications
• Creating networking opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing
• Sharing clinical guidelines and best practice resources
• Providing career development tools

We aim to give PAs and NPs the specialized support they need to excel in their roles and deliver exceptional patient care.
