Course Description
There is an acute shortage of dermatologists in the United States. Dermatologists are
shifting away from medical dermatology with many now focusing on cosmetic and oncologic
procedures. Physician extenders (PA’s and ARNP’s) are rapidly becoming the medical
dermatology providers as are primary care physicians. Medical and basic dermatologic
surgery procedures have been identified as high priority in several needs assessment
surveys for CME.
Target Audience
This program is intended for primary care providers (Physicians, PAs, ARNP’s, Podiatrists)
that treat common dermatological conditions in their office.

• Describe abnormal skin lesions and common eruptions.
• Formulate a differential diagnosis of common dermatoses and lesions.
• Recognize the essential criteria for definitive diagnosis of common dermatological
conditions.
• Commence with a cost-effective treatment program.
• Perform routine dermatological surgical procedures.
• Correctly document E/M services.
• Accurately code for dermatological procedures.
