The DEF Essential Resource Meeting 2024 (DERM2024) NP/PA CME Conference wrapped up Sunday in Las Vegas, bringing to a close 5 days of comprehensive education for health care professionals in dermatology. Lectures covered career development and planning, skin cancer, warts, autoimmune disease, inflammatory diseases, acne, rosacea, nutritional deficiencies, hair and nail diseases, and more.
DEF published Daily Recaps, summarizing important presentations from each day. A final recap offers perspectives from DEF Faculty members George Keough, MD, FAAD and Andrea Nguyen, MPAS, PA-C, who review key developments from the conference.
Presentations went beyond traditional considerations of diagnosis and management. “Dr. Rosen had a great presentation on how to interact with patients with very helpful clues on body language. It really, I think, helped me to be more approachable to my patients and read their signs,” Dr. Keough said. “Dr. Michelle Hure gave a great lecture on practice pitfalls. She had a lot of passion describing that, having had to go through establishing a practice herself without a lot of help. And then, now develop into a very successful practice. So I think her tips and her advice were invaluable.”
“There has been great clinical content, clinical updates, so many new things coming out in dermatology. There’s really something for everyone here, whether you’re new to practice, whether you’ve been in practice for five to 10 years, or even those that have been in practice for longer than that, 15, 20-plus years,” Ms. Nguyen said.
Daily Recaps from all 5 days of DERM2024 are available online at DermNPPA.org.
