Dermatology Community
Engage, Learn, Network and Progress Practice in Dermatology
If your health care focus is only skin deep, but your passion for your patients goes far deeper, the Dermatology Community is for you! This Community offers a unique opportunity to interactively collaborate with colleagues who share interest or clinical expertise in dermatology. As a community member you’ll have access to a cutting-edge, online forum where you can engage in discussions, document sharing and knowledge exchange with fellow nurse practitioners (NPs). Come learn, share and help progress the development of theory and practice in dermatology.
