Nurses now have their own dermatology residency

From the derm forum. Who needs to go to medical school and be top of their class to go into dermatology when nursing school will do 🙄

USF offers the nation's first Dermatology Residency in a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. The DNP Dermatology Residency program is a collaboration with USF College of Nursing and Medicine, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center, Center for Dermatology and Skin Surgery, Bayonet and Memorial Wound Care Centers, and other community physician practices and institutions.

The DNP program includes a core curriculum identified by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's "DNP Essentials" (AACN, 2006). The dermatology resident must complete 33 core and clinical cognate credit hours and 23 credit hours of dermatology residency which includes a standardized and formal curriculum, evidence-based project, and clinical hours. Total credit hours for the DNP degree and dermatology residency are 56 credit hours.

The program requires the resident to complete a series of clinical rotations that will progress in the level of complexity. In addition to the clinical rotations, residents are required to complete selected projects and to participate in the department's research program. Throughout the program, written and observed tests will be administered and each resident must complete required publication submissions, presentation of ground round lectures, and must obtain teaching experience as guest lecturers in the USF College of Nursing's Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program. Residents are expected to attend appropriate professional conferences and to participate in professional organizations.

The DNP Dermatology Residency Program (USF, 2008) is a challenging academic and clinical endeavor. The program consists of completing the course requirements for the USF DNP program and the dermatology residency. The DNP with a specialty in dermatology will provide a terminal practice degree to prepare advanced nurse practitioners to assume leadership roles in the practice, research, and the health care setting

The purpose of this program is to prepare the graduate for advanced practice in the specialty of dermatology at the doctoral level. It is expected that this program will serve as the benchmark and model for other doctoral dermatology residencies across the nation.

As the DNA, the NP Society, and the AAD work together to develop a core body of knowledge for the dermatology specialist, it will be important to keep in the forefront the effects of health care bills like HB 699 on the practice of nurse practitioners. Developing programs that are supported by these organizations create competent health care providers that are capable of treating various skin diseases seen in the dermatology setting. For the safety and well-being of our patients, it is imperative that dermatology NPs receive formal academic training and demonstrate competency through board certification. In time, the Florida Board of Medicine's perceptions of nurse practitioner practice may improve when future studies show that the development of these formal dermatology educational programs improves diagnostic and treatment skills and positive patient outcomes.

well, this blows. maybe when people DNP's start cardiology, surgery , nephrology , and radiology fellowships other docs will wake up and realize that this encroachment problem isn't going to stay exclusive to anesthesia.

Amen Jet. A resident, by definition, is a physician and residency is a formal training program for PHYSICIANS. These MFs want to change the definitions to continue to blur the boundaries. These new health care initiatives are going to destroy medicine in the US in a generation. I'm glad I only have 20 years left, and maybe only half of that here. I might be happy to make less elsewhere. I, like you, have a nice F-U account to fall back on. I feel sorry for medical students today. So much wasted potential. CRNAs are going to be the model for all the others...
Sad, sad, sad.

Call me a little militant, but I would like to refer to one of my favorite movies (Predator-1), when Jesse Ventura was manning the machine gun and was gunning the $hit out of that alien. I'd like to mowe me some bioootches who like to call themselves "residents," when they never stepped foot into medical school.

 

[lfesiam]

This will only worsen degree inflation and public misinformation.

Sigh...sad day for medicine indeed.

Might as well start a Doctorate for everything in healthcare.

Like Jet said, "There is only one truth".

Pimple-popper, DNP. Once they graduate, they can do a fellowship at the Clinique counter. 🙄

 

[AirBubble]

Advocates for extending the scope of practice of mid-level practitioners refer to the shortage of primary care physicians and anesthesia providers in less desirable areas. Sounds reasonable to the average person. But when mid-levels want to be referred to as doctors and residents AND practice independently in medical specialties that are already over-saturated with existing medical providers, their intentions become clear.

 

[cfdavid]

As I've stated before, the RATE of encroachment in other specialties is far exceeding that in anesthesia. So, it's inevitable that the other specialties will be joining us in the fight.

Purely anecdotal, but I've noticed most (not all) nurses could fall well within the cluster B personality disorders. They have volatile up and down emotions with multiple cycles throughout the day, tend toward narcissism, and will never admit when they're wrong.

My mother was a nurse, and as a child and teen I had the occasion to be around many nurse conversations that basically revolved around what 'dumb*****es' physicians are. Many of the nurses/murses stated they could do the job of a physician. Unfortunately, this is a core belief of not only CRNA's but of many RN's too.👎thumbdown (there are some REAL militant whackos out there)

As I stated in a thread that I started recently, the downside of nurse enchroachment in anesthesia has for the most part already been factored in, we've been dealing with it and we are in a better position to defend ourselves in the political arena then we have ever been. All these other specialties are going to get blindsided by these midlevel providers. Once things start to get out of control a lil bit in some of these other fields, derm, Emed, medical specialties, god knows maybe even surgeries, PAs can already do the bulk of a lot of surgical procedures, why can't DNPs start doing a lil surg as well. Anyways as soon as this starts happening. All MDs will be forced to make some magor legislative changes to the law. It has to be a concerted effort, and a lot of it has to be done through PR as well. People got to know. Anyways this is the long run is good for anesthesia because it won't just be our problem anymore. Do you guys agree? I mean I really don't think this DNP thing is really going to effect anesthesia as much as some other specialties considering where CRNAs are now. Hospitals will not look at CRNA DNP very differently IMHO

As the DNA, the NP Society, and the AAD work together to develop a core body of knowledge for the dermatology specialist, ms improves diagnostic and treatment skills and positive patient outcomes.

WTF is the AAD thinking?

 

[NK1Positive]

WTF is the AAD thinking?

In the power point presentation they cite the American Association of Dermatology Nursing (AADN) So I think the original AAD was a mis-type

I am with you on this one.

It is not only anasthesia and dermatology!

Clinical Residency Concentrations


The USF College of Nursing has established selected, broad, supervised residency concentrations designed to meet each resident’s individualized professional and clinical practice goals. Each clinical residency concentration is a variable credit tract with a minimum requirement of 500 clinical hours beyond the Master’s level clinical hours. The Dermatology and Cardiovascular residency concentrations require a minimum of 1000 hours beyond the Master’s level clinical hours. Residency concentrations are broadly defined by the following clinical specialties:

Dermatology*
Cardiovascular
Family Practice
Occupational Health *
Internal Medicine
Endocrinology
Neurology/Pain Management
Psychiatry
Pediatrics
Neonatology
Emergency Medicine
Acute Care

* Additional criteria may be required for admission

IMO it's incumbent on the AMA to try and stop the very misleading use of the term "residency" to describe these programs.

It's also on them to start doing something about the use of the word "Doctor" in clinical encounters.

Knowing the AMA, neither is going to happen, unfortunately.

 

[Eta Carinae]

Left a very lengthy, impassioned litany on AAD VM 202-842-3555 today- without being rude, of course.

I might get in trouble, though 😳

 

[IcedGreenTea]

Here's a template you can use to contact the AMA (originally by JaggerPlate). The word limit is actually quite low, but this should get the point across.

The AMA site is:

To Whom It May Concern,

I am exceedingly concerned with the expanding rights and privileges of nurse practitioners. They intend to promote themselves as "doctors" in a clinical setting, with twenty-eight states now considering an expansion of nurse practitioner rights and privileges. Nurse practitioners desire independent practice, prescription rights, and even Medicare reimbursement at physician rates. This "expansion of scope" is a threat to medical students, residents, attending physicians, and, most importantly, unsuspecting patients. Personally, I believe this expansion will continue into various medical fields, and as a powerful, physician interest group, I urge you to help protect physician rights, patient safety, and the practice of ethical medicine. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,

Your name
