What is the Dermatology Certification Exam?
The Dermatology Nurse Practitioner Certification Examination is a nationally accredited examination administered by the Dermatology Nurse Practitioner Certification Board (DNPCB). The exam is designed to measure the nurse practitioner’s ability to assess and diagnose acute and chronic dermatological conditions that occur across the life span. National certification is a recognized measure of competence in one’s specialty area and serves as recognition of expertise in the specialty practice of dermatology.

Who is Eligible for the Dermatology Nurse Practitioner Certification Exam?
To be eligible to sit for the Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner (DCNP) exam, candidates must meet the following requirements, as delineated by the DCNPB:

• Masters or Doctoral degree in nursing
• Current NP state licensure
• National certification as a NP
• Minimum of 3,000 hours of recent dermatology NP practice (within the last 3 years) with current practice in dermatology (hours obtained from a formal dermatology NP academic program count towards the 3,000 hours).
• For more information on eligibility criteria, please visit: https://www.dnpcb.org/

What Will the Certification Review Course Cover?
The review course will provide a comprehensive overview of the delineated examination focus areas identified by the DCNPB. You will learn the “need to know” information to enable you to be focused and prepared to pass the examination. Along with the two-day didactic session, there will be a one-day virtual practice question session to strengthen your knowledge and assist you in the art of “dissecting” examination questions to uncover the correct answer!
