DEF Biologic & Small Molecule NP/PA CME Bootcamps Return to In-Person Format in Dallas Next Month

MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Aug. 30, 2023 - PRLog -- The Dermatology Education Foundation (DEF) Biologic and Small Molecule NP/PA CME Bootcamps (Bootcamps) are coming back in-person! Join DEF September 30 in Dallas, TX or November 4 in Scottsdale, AZ as these popular, free programs return to their live, in-person format.

"I am really excited to have the Bootcamps return to their in-person format," says DEF President and Bootcamp faculty member Joe Gorelick, MSN, FNP-C. "I look forward to the opportunities for one-on-one interaction with attendees as well as industry colleagues there to represent our industry supporters who make the programs possible."

One-day, in-depth, disease-specific biologic training courses, the Bootcamps are designed for NPs, PAs, biologic coordinators, MAs, and anyone in the practice responsible for the care of biologic patients.

Presented live by a faculty of experts, these courses focus on the pathophysiology, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (AD), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), vitiligo, alopecia, and more. The program features lectures and panel discussions with coverage of immunology as well as existing and emerging therapies--with plenty of audience engagement and opportunity for Q&As with the faculty. Plus, there is opportunity to interact one-on-one, live with industry colleagues and discover more about Corporate Sponsors in the Exhibit Hall.

Joining Mr. Gorelick on the faculty for the Bootcamps is April Armstrong, MD, MPH, David Cohen, MD, MPH, and Kara Gooding, MS, PA-C.

"We've continued the Bootcamps on a quarterly basis, and every program has had new, important information," says Kara Gooding, MS, PA-C. "Each and every bootcamp has evolved as we have had an incredible number of therapeutic agents approved for inflammatory skin diseases over the past few years."

Attendance is limited, so organizers encourage interested individuals to take advantage of open registration for the Biologic and Small Molecule NP/PA CME Bootcamps online at https://dermnppa.org/biologic-bootcamps/.
