Dermatology Training Course for Primary Care Physicians

Primary care physicians and nurse practitioners often refer patients for dermatological procedures they could perform themselves. This hands-on dermatology training equips you with the skills to treat common skin conditions in your own practice. New techniques in cosmetic dermatology allow faster evaluation and treatment with less scarring — and our dermatology certification course gives you the confidence to offer these services immediately.

Who Is This Dermatology Training Course For?

Admissions to Empire Medical Training are open to licensed healthcare professionals, including physicians, dentists, and nurses authorized to perform injection procedures. Prospective participants are encouraged to check with their respective licensing boards to determine eligibility for performing these procedures in their practice. For individuals who are not licensed healthcare professionals, participation is limited to observational learning through demonstrations of how these procedures are performed.

Course Details

Our dermatology training program teaches physicians and nurse practitioners how to properly identify precancerous, cancerous, and benign lesions for skin cancer identification and treatment. You will learn to recognize Actinic Keratosis, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Melanomas, and other cutaneous malignancies. Treatment options covered include curettage, desiccation, excisional removal, cryosurgery training, and liquid and photodynamic therapies for various lesions.

In addition, this hands-on dermatology course covers essential surgical skills for primary care dermatological procedures, including skin biopsy training (punch, shave, curettement, and excision), suturing, hemostasis, and specialized procedures such as ingrown toenails, intralesional injections, and curettage. You will also gain proficiency in cryosurgery techniques using liquid nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and hand-held units.

This comprehensive dermatology certification course includes a special section on the 40 most common dermatological conditions encountered in a primary care setting, covering cosmetic dermatology treatment options, conventional pharmacologics, interventional procedures, sun exposure and preventative dermatology including hyperpigmentation and hypertrophic scarring, and P. Acnes control protocols for moderate and severe acne.
