NEEDS STATEMENT
There is a critical need to strengthen dermatologic knowledge and skills among primary care professionals, who often serve as the first point of contact for patients with skin-related concerns. Many providers report limited training in dermatology, which hinders their ability to recognize, classify, and manage a wide range of skin diseases. This knowledge gap, along with low confidence in performing diagnostic procedures such as skin biopsies and in selecting evidence-based treatments, can lead to delays in care, misdiagnoses, and suboptimal outcomes. Even when providers are aware of best practices, inconsistent application due to limited visual training or uncertainty in distinguishing between similar conditions further compromises care quality.
This educational activity aims to address these challenges by offering a comprehensive curriculum on common and complex dermatologic conditions in both adult and pediatric populations. Through didactic lectures and interactive Q&A, learners will improve their ability to recognize morphologic patterns, develop thorough differential diagnoses, and implement timely, evidence-based treatment strategies. Reinforcing diagnostic reasoning, procedural confidence, and real-world clinical application will help providers improve their dermatologic care in primary care settings and ultimately achieve better patient outcomes.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for primary care health care providers, including physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners.
