Nurse Practitioner Forum Program ***

16.00 Contact Hours
(Additional Fee Required)

This year’s Nurse Practitioner Forum promises to be a well- rounded series of lectures for the advanced practice Nurse Practitioner working in (or interested in working in) Dermatology.  We have aligned this year’s content with the Core Curriculum identified by the Professional Practice Committee (which also helps to prepare for the DCNP examination).  Topics include professional practice issues, Bullous disorders, Pharmacology, Dermatopathology, Pediatric dilemmas, Clinical Challenges and many more along with a new hands on skills workshop to assist the practitioner with core competencies including suturing and biopsies.  The NP forum has been closely linked with the general conference to prevent overlap and offer many additional topics for the advanced practitioner so we hope you can stay for the entire conference!
