M1: Fundamentals of Integrative Dermatology

Welcome to LearnSkin's Dermatology: Clinical & Integrative Dermatology II Program!

Designed for experienced PAs and NPs with at least one year in dermatology, the DCIE II program provides a thorough review of integrative dermatology to enhance patient management skills. Whether you're a Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant, this program covers key topics and addresses the most common questions and concerns from patients.

You are now part of a select group of clinicians in one of the fastest growing areas of healthcare: integrative medicine. Increasingly patients are seeking practitioners with knowledge on dermatological conditions with integrative approaches, which is why we developed this program.

As you embark on your educational journey into integrative dermatology treatment management and go through the modules, think about how you will implement new integrative modalities into practice. You'll have one year after starting the DCIE II to put your new skills into practice and describe one case where you have utilized an integrative approach.

If you have any questions along the way, please feel free to reach out to us on the discussion board or bring them to our roundtable discussions.

For any logistical or administrative questions, the LearnSkin team is available to help at [email protected].

We look forward to embarking on this educational journey with you!
