JCAD NP+PA Perspectives in Dermatology (JCAD NP+PA) and the Society of Dermatology Nurse Practitioners (SDNP) are proud to announce an official partnership that establishes JCAD NP+PA as the official journal of the SDNP.

The SDNP is committed to providing high-quality care to dermatology NPs, regardless of their background, and JCAD NP+PA is focused on providing opportunities for NPs and PAs to publish their work as primary authors of original research. We collectively believe in promoting professional collaboration with all dermatology providers, academic and healthcare institutions, and doing so through the avenue of being the only peer-reviewed, indexed journal in the field of dermatology for NPs and PAs, where they can grow and expand their skills as an author.
