My Passion

Jennifer Conner, MPAS, PA-C

My career has been paved by others who were willing to lead, teach, and give back to the profession. My passion is to offer those same things to other PAs, NPs, and the field of dermatology. I recognize that with experience, we develop skills, knowledge, and experience that are best leveraged by sharing with others. Some leadership ability is innate, but much is learned from those who came before you or those you work with. I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by like-minded leaders who serve selflessly, seek to cultivate new ideas, and work to advance our profession. There are countless ways for APPs to serve the dermatology community and profession outside of our clinics. Binding together to advance our education and footprint in medicine is imperative to our growth as individuals and collectively within the dermatology space. Together, we are stronger: stronger clinicians, stronger as PA and NP professionals, and better advocates for the patients we serve.
