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.

Several mini-symposia, focusing on the diagnosis and management of common skin


problems likely to be encountered by both physician extenders working in dermatology
offices and PCPs will be presented by a distinguished faculty. Interactive workshops have
been designed in this program to develop your dermatologic procedural skills, challenge
your diagnostic acumen and enhance your mastery of coding and documentation.

Target Audience
This program is intended for primary care providers (Physicians, PAs, ARNP’s, Podiatrists)
that treat common dermatological conditions in their office.

Objectives
Upon the completion of this program, the participant should be able to:
• 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.
