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.

There is an increase of skin cancers in our population with an increased incidence of Melanoma. Additionally, there are many new medications being introduced, and others that have gone out of favor. Primary Care providers need to review and update their knowledge in these and other concerns in Dermatology on an annual basis. Keep current with a review and challenge your diagnostic acumen. Our mini-symposia focus on the diagnosis and management of common skin problems and provide you opportunity to develop your dermatologic surgery skills.
