My Passion
Jenny Laminack, MPA, PA-C
In working with Elevate-Derm, my goal is to help build a network of PAs and NPs who can rely on each other as resources for further clinical knowledge and camaraderie. Early in my career, I was the only Advanced Practice Provider (APP) in a dermatology clinic. I value my first two years as a dermatology physician assistant and learned crucial information, but I also struggled. It was only after our clinic added a nurse practitioner that I genuinely excelled and felt comfortable. Simply having the ability to use another APP as a sounding board for ideas and implementing treatment plans gave me the confidence to provide the best patient care.
I have been on the leadership team of Elevate-Derm since 2021, and I can honestly say in the years I have been a part of this organization, I have grown tremendously as a provider and colleague. I attribute my personal growth as a dermatology physician assistant to the knowledge gained through continuing education and the community established among my peers. Elevate-Derm has been an integral part of this growth. It offers opportunities for continuing education, networking, and a general fellowship among dermatology APPs that is unmatched. I feel a responsibility and passion to reach out to other APPs to join this incredible group and offer them a chance to experience these same opportunities I have found so valuable.
