A self-paced online course for clinicians who biopsy skin. It covers the key fundamentals you need to know if you do skin biopsies, including: how to avoid common pitfalls we see, choosing the right biopsy, what to put on the requisition, understanding your path report, and what to do next. It opens this fall.
Who is it for?
NPs and PAs in dermatology and primary care, and physicians in primary care, who do skin biopsies. It focuses on the decisions you make in clinic, with lots of real cases.
I've been in dermatology for years. Will this be too basic?
Many experienced NPs and PAs took the earlier course, including clinicians with 7, 10 and 21 years in dermatology, and they said they still picked up new pearls.
I took Dermpath Essentials. Is this different? Where did Essentials go?
Essentials was retired in July. Fundamentals builds on it, but about two-thirds is newly developed and recorded, and the rest has been updated based on learner feedback: for example, more clinical cases and less repetition. If you took Essentials, watch your inbox for a special price.
Does it offer CME?
Yes. The course offers 6 CME/CE credits: AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, AAPA Category 1 CME credits, ANCC contact hours and Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credits. Nurse practitioners can also submit AMA PRA Category 1 credit to AANP. Credit is provided by Pinnacle Conference, LLC, a jointly accredited provider.
What's included?
Short video lectures you can watch at your own pace, plus The Dermpath Companion, a printable PDF guide.
How long do I have access?
6 months from enrollment.
What's the refund policy?
Full refund within 30 days of purchase if you've viewed 20% or less of the course.
Can my employer reimburse me?
You'll get a receipt you can submit for CME or education reimbursement.
