TESTIMONIALS

Terri Hancock, NP

Cardiology, UHealth

"Practical Dermatology at the University of Utah delivered exactly what it promised: practical pearls, approachable experts, fascinating cases, and a reminder that Dr. Google  isn't always the best dermatologist. Also degrees from TikTok aren't helpful. From tackling patient misinformation to learning from engaging faculty (including one proudly describing his skin as 'smooth as a porpoise'), it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend."

Noor Ul Ain Fatima, MD

Bahria University of Health Science Campus

"As an International Medical Graduate (IMG), Practical Derm was an outstanding learning experience. It provided valuable insight into the academic approach, clinical curriculum, and practice of dermatology in the United States. I particularly appreciated the hands-on exposure to techniques such as biopsy and suturing, as well as the opportunity to learn from experienced dermatology faculty. The course further strengthened my interest in pursuing a career in dermatology."

Ayla Chase, Student

Con Student Services, UHealth

"The derm conference was an amazing blend of practicality, applicability, and wonderful entertainment from outstanding, credible, and personable presenters. I actually had a great time at this conference while learning a great deal to apply to my family practice setting."

Erin Cole, NP

Geap Services, UHealth

"Dermatology has always felt so intimidating, because it's so broad, but Practical Derm really breaks it down into what I need to know as a primary care provider. Everything is focused on learning what we need to know today to provide care to patients in clinic tomorrow, narrowing to the conditions we must commonly see in primary care."

Amy Thorsen, MD

Family Medicine, UHealth

"It was very educational and engaging!"

Marilyn Mckinley, MD

Primary Care, IMS Peds

"Great refresher for daily dermatology issues"

Talena Kerr, PNP

Pediatrics, Intermountain Health

"Informative. Excellent presentations and information that can be easily applied in practice. "

Hailey Russell, DNP

Primary Care, Tanner Clinic

"I absolutely loved this dermatology conference! It provided me with a lot of information about basic, and more complex skin conditions that I will see in primary care and how to treat them. I will attend next year!"

Vidya Gopinath, MD

Internal Med, UHealth

"A great refresher on some core primary care topics that I see every day including acne, nail fungus and hair thinning!"

Erin Cole, NP

Women's Health, UHealth

"Practical Derm is always an excellent conference. The name captures it so well-- it is practical! I always learn so much that I can apply in my next clinic. I recommend this conference to all my colleagues and students!"

Gina Whitehead, APRN

College of Nursing, UHealth

"Everyone was nice and welcoming and it was such a pleasure to come and learn with everyone!  I look forward to it every year!!!!"
