Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have unlimited access to this course?
You can access this course however many times you want for however long you want. All Elite Nurse Practitioner Courses are pre-recorded and accessible indefinitely.
Can I perform these services via telemedicine?
Yes. Outside of dermatological procedures or in-person skin examinations, many common dermatological complaints —such as acne or melasma —can be addressed via telemedicine. To generate passive income during telemedicine visits, consider recommendations for signature cosmetic skincare products that can be purchased on your website.
Do I need a specialized certification to provide dermatological or cosmetic skin care services?
Providing dermatological services falls into the scope of any nurse practitioner. There is no certification or specialized license required to provide the services and products described in this course.
Will this course teach me how to build a dermatology or cosmetic skin care clinic from scratch?
The course covers all the information you need to know to start your own practice. We cover a wide range of topics: including supply ordering, compounding pharmacies, LLC formation, marketing, and much more!
Will I be prepared to provide dermatological consultations after taking this course?
This course covers about 90% of what you would ever see in practice. The other 10% of conditions are generally very advanced clinical illness or rare conditions that would require the attention of a dermatological specialist. Otherwise, a nurse practitioner should be able to walk away from this course confident in the management of most dermatological conditions.
Will this course go over how to market a dermatology and cosmetic skin care practice?
You must get the word out about your clinic if you want to get busy and grow quickly! Word of mouth is fine, but it can take a long time for that to happen. ! Remember, marketing is the number one function of your practice. Therefore, it is critical to market appropriately. We will cover the marketing foundations with you.
I already own a practice. Would this course benefit me?
Definitely! Having the knowledge to treat your patients’ dermatological conditions will increase patient satisfaction tremendously. Additionally, integrating cosmetic skincare products into your practice will increase your revenue.
Is having a DEA number necessary?
No, nothing we discuss is considered a controlled substance. You may need a DEA number if you utilize compounded products that contain controlled substances, but this is not generally applicable to dermatological treatments.
Will this offer CME?
This course offers 9 CE hours. The Elite Nurse Practitioner is credentialed as aCEU provider through the ANCC. CEU awarded through The Elite Nurse Practitioner applies to ANCC, AANP, and all boards of nursing.
