About the Course

In collaboration with Laura Collins, an ANP with an extensive dermatological background, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce The Dermatology and Cosmetic Skin Care Course! This is the DEFINITIVE GUIDE to dermatology for the nurse practitioner! Plus, we are including a plethora of actionable cosmetic skin care topics to sweeten the course 😊

This course is designed for the nurse practitioner who is looking for the training to empower them to evaluate, diagnose, and treat 90% of the dermatological complaints you would ever see in clinical practice. It is also for the nurse practitioner who is wanting to integrate cosmetic skin care into their practice to increase their service and product offerings, which ultimately will increase your revenue!

Dermatology and cosmetic skin care are an in demand and growing service line. The skin care and dermatology industries are a multi-billionaire dollar market and they continue to grow year by year. In addition, 1 in 3 patients will have a dermatological ailment at any given time plus the population is aging and is wanting to look younger more than ever before. So, what does this mean for the astute nurse practitioner entrepreneur? A fantastic practice opportunity!

Thousands of patients are in need of quality and affordable dermatological care RIGHT NOW. Standard dermatology practices often times have multi-month waiting lists and patients become increasingly frustrated that they have to continue to live life with unhealthy appearing skin that frequently is symptomatic as well. Acne, eczema, melasma, and a variety of other skin disorders plague the appearance of countless individuals in our society. Nurse practitioners need to be stepping up to the plate and assisting patients with their dermatological needs. Well, this is exactly what this course will help the nurse practitioner do!

In addition, this course will cover dozens of cosmetic skin care services and products to help increase your practices offerings which will result in increased revenue streams! Patients are actively seeking compounded topical anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, acne, melasma, and moisturizing products. We cover all of these and more! We also cover how to provide these products via asynchronous telemedicine visits to help you build a passive income stream from your practice’s website.

This course would be perfect for the nurse practitioner interested in simply integrating dermatological and cosmetic skin care services into their established practice or for the nurse practitioner wanting to open a stand-alone skin care clinic that could be done full time. ­If you wanted to build a high-end cosmetic skin care clinic, then adding the products discussed in this course, providing general dermatological consultations, and providing aesthetic services would make for an amazing full-service skin care practice! Ultimately, it is up to you!
