Dermatology CME Courses
Dermatology CME Courses
This CME program offers a broader approach to treating patients with dermatology needs on an ongoing basis, stressing practical problem-solving and disease management. Focused on total patient care — from diagnosis of common skin conditions and lesions, to developing a treatment plan and establishing skin care management — Dermatology for Primary Care faculty will:
- Define fundamentals of the dermatologic exam, using real-patient photography to illustrate skin conditions from common acne and eczema to melanoma and other skin cancers
- Pull from real-patient examples to demonstrate common patterns of presentation
- Discuss how to approach patients who don’t improve and what adjustments to make when conditions change

Board Vitals offers hundreds of Dermatology Questions targeted to the ABDERM and MOC:PQRS exam. Our question bank is specifically designed around difficult questions, with detailed explanations around the correct answer.
The logistics – the Derm exam is a long exam (8 hours) and has a fairly middle of the road pass rate compared to the other specialties. (90% pass rate average over the past several years) There are two major sections – the Dermatopathology and Virtual Dermatopathology Section, and the written Multiple Choice Section (300 Questions).
The vast majority of students that score at least 60% correct on our Dermatology practice questions pass the board exam. It is very rare for someone to exceed the average - 62% threshold on our exam - and not pass the boards. When using our question bank, a primary goal should be focusing on not performing in the lowest 20% of test takers. (Each question comes with an individual average score)<
