What is the PDPA Journal Club?
The PDPA journal club was created as an open forum for dermatology physician assistants and nurse practitioners, as well as other health professionals and students interested in dermatology, to meet, critically evaluate, and apply dermatology literature and research to clinical practice.
What to expect during PDPA Journal Club...

The environment should be one of mutual respect for others and their opinions.
