The Skin Course is proudly partnering with Pathology Student to bring more than just a basic understanding of dermatopathology to nurse practitioners and physician assistants.  With The Skin Course and Pathology Student, course participants will gain access to a select and cultivated resource for clinical decision making written by Kristine Krafts, M.D., a board certified pathologist who also has completed fellowships in hematopathology and molecular pathology.  Kristine is the real deal and she has brought her universe of knowledge to bear for The Skin Course students, along with Patton Graham, N.P., author and presenter of The Skin Course.
