Dermatology Nurses' Association (DNA)

The Dermatology Nurses' Association (DNA) is a professional nursing organization comprised of diverse individuals who are committed to quality dermatologic care to provide exceptional patient outcomes through sharing knowledge and expertise. The core purpose of the DNA is to promote excellence in dermatologic care. Members include nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical and vocational nurses, medical assistants, students and others associated with dermatology nursing, who work in a variety of settings including clinics, academic institutions, private practice, public health centers, and government facilities. 

DNA offers education and training in fundamental and cutting-edge dermatology care and treatment through its annual convention, dermatology nurse certification review courses, online CE Center, and expert workshops. Student members receive many DNA benefits electronically, such as bi-monthly newsletter online, a weekly e-newsletter, and monthly email member updates.  Student members will also receive special registration rates to all DNA events.  Members of the DNA's  Nurse Practitioner Society are offered tools, resources and education focused on the needs of the advanced nurse practitioner.  The DNA Focus Newsletter and official journal, the Journal of the Dermatology Nurses' Association, extend the DNA's informational and educational presence with association and practice news, learner-paced continuing education and timely resources.  To learn more about the DNA or to join, click below.
