Launched in 2020, NP+PA Perspectives in Dermatology (NP+PA) is a peer-reviewed and indexed supplement for practicing nurse practitioners and physician assistants in dermatology published by Matrix Medical Communications in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The journal is a supplement to The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD), which has been published monthly since 2008. The journal is indexed on PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Scopus and Embase.
NPs and PAs are becoming more prevalent in the United States in the field of dermatology, as they see upward of 40 patients per day. This publication was started as a way for those NPs and PAs to have a place to be published as a way to contribute to the literature and further their academic careers.
NP+PA offers its readers original research, comprehensive reviews, case reports, and commentaries on contemporary topics relating to both clinical and aesthetic dermatology, written by key opinion leaders as well as practicing clinicians who are “in the trenches,” providing vital balance to the research-rich literature that is already available.
