About Dermwise

Learning Derm Made Easy

The Story Behind Dermwise's Creation

In 2004, Dr. Moore opened his practice in Elkhart, Indiana, eager to provide quality care to his community. But soon after hiring new APPs, he realized there was a problem: there was no formal system to train them in dermatology, a specialty that requires precision and expertise. Determined to ensure his team could confidently diagnose and treat patients, Dr. Moore became passionate about dermatology education. Over the next decade, he dedicated himself to refining his training approach, personally mentoring and guiding over 35 APPs along the way. Seeing the positive impact on his practice, he realized that many other practices were facing the same challenge—and so, he decided to share his system with others, making these training programs available to APPs, Physicians, and practices who could benefit from them.
