10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

I used a different service for testing before and this was so much smoother and better! Very professional and friendly, they also helped me quickly when I accidentally deleted an appointment. 10/10 would recommend!

V. Cristy

SUPER IMPRESSED

The test taking was extremely easy. The proctor and customer service (which I had to call because of a mistake that I made) were both very friendly and efficient. And despite the hiccup my issue was resolved by customer service in less than 5 mins and the overall test taking was done within 10 mins. Super impressed!!

AWESOME SERVICE

Such an awesome service! Instructions were clear and easy to follow. The appointment call went seamlessly as well. The email and text reminds were also helpful.

Frequently asked questions

Who is eligible for this program?

This program is open to healthcare providers who want to learn proficiency in dermatology and provide dermatologic care for their patients. Prescribers (physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants) and non-prescribers (nurses, estheticians or others) can participate. The program is particularly well-suited to Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Physician Assistants (PAs), and physicians (MD or DO) who want to integrate dermatology into their current practice. For prescribers, this program is especially well-suited for those who have completed training, are licensed and actively practicing medicine in another specialty but want to add dermatology to the services offered or who want to get a job in dermtology, but need training to do so. For non-prescribers such as nurses or estheticians, you can participate in the fellowship program and will learn the spectrum of diseases of the skin, hair, and nails as well. You will also have access to the live dermatology listserv where you can learn from all other participants and can also upload questions. Non-prescribers can also distribute the CLMD products to your own clients, but you cannot participate in the telemedicine program. We do offer a prescriber collaboration program where you can work with a graduate of the fellowship as a prescriber to assist with any prescription needs you may have for your own clients.

What will I learn in the program?

The program is a comprehensive, year-long program designed to provide both foundational knowledge and advanced clinical skills. Throughout the program, you will learn the full spectrum of diseases of the skin, hair and nails. By the end of the first eight weeks, prescribers will be able to comfortably diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of dermatological conditions using the CLMD compounding protocols and products. The conditions you will be able to manage by week eight include:

Acne
Teenage Acne
Adult/hormonal Acne
Folliculitis
Pityrosporum acne
Gram negative folliculitis
Eczema
Atopic dermatitis
Allergic Contact Dermatitis
Eyelid dermatitis
Hand Dermatitis
Lip Dermatitis
Shoe/foot dermatitis
Rosacea
Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
Acne rosacea
Granulomatous rosacea (including ocular rosacea)
Perioral Dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis
Melasma and Pigmentation
Age Prevention

In addition to these conditions, you’ll receive training in patient care protocols, telemedicine integration, and how to use CLMD’s trusted products and treatment plans. As the program progresses, you’ll also have access to ongoing case studies and mentorship from industry experts.

How long is this program?

The program lasts for one year. The first 8 weeks are focused on foundational training through online didactic sessions, where you’ll gain the skills to start treating patients using your own telemedicine clinic. After the first 8 weeks, you will continue your learning with monthly courses, case studies, and ongoing mentorship for the remainder of the year.

How is the curriculum and program structured?

There are FIVE parts to the program:

Phase 1 (8 weeks): This phase focuses on foundational knowledge, where you will complete 8 online training modules that cover key dermatological conditions and how to treat them using the patented CLMD’s products and proprietary protocols. At the end of this phase, you can sit for the proficiency exam and, when you pass it, will receive your own teledermatology clinic where you can start treating patients through telemedicine.
Phase 2 (Remaining 10 months): After the initial training, you will continue with monthly courses that go deeper into advanced dermatology topics. You’ll also be guided through real patient cases, receive ongoing mentorship, and have the opportunity to treat patients remotely, using the telemedicine platform provided. We will use a leading dermatology textbook to guide this portion of the program (Andrews’ Diseases of the Skin).

Can I start treating patients immediately after the first 8 weeks?

Yes! After completing the first 8 weeks of the program, you’ll be fully equipped to begin treating patients using telemedicine tools. You must pass the proficiency exam and, as soon as you pass it, you’ll be able to start seeing patients remotely, diagnosing and managing conditions like eczema, acne, rosacea, hair loss and others, while still receiving ongoing mentorship and education throughout the remainder of the course. When you participate in the teledermatology program, you are joining AZOVA’s nationwide medical practice and you will need to complete credentialing with AZOVA before you receive your teledermatology clinic. The credentialing process is a simple online application and takes only a few minutes to complete, but will require that you upload your licenses and keep them up to date. You’ll also receive a personalized teledermatology website to showcase your dermatology services and connect with patients.

How does telemedicine work?

Telemedicine is a key component of the program, and we provide you with the tools to start offering remote care as early as 8 weeks into the program. You will be trained to use our telemedicine platform, which includes features like video, telephone and secure messaging consultations. The system is very efficient and enables patients to consult with you and receive the care that they need all online. This allows you to build a flexible, modern practice, expand your patient reach, and manage your time effectively.

How much money can I make doing teledermatology through the teledermatology clinic?

You have two ways to participate in the teledermatology clinic; you can promote your own clinic to your own patients and social media followers, and you can also participate in AZOVA’s teledermatology network. Payment rates are highest for patients that you see through your own teledermatology clinic and are lower for patients that AZOVA sends to you through the AZOVA dermatology marketplace. You will receive information about reimbursement rates when you undergo credentialing after you pass your eight week proficiency exam.

Will I receive mentorship during the program?

Absolutely. You’ll receive personalized mentorship throughout the program, both during the initial 8-week training and for the remaining 10 months. Our mentorship includes guidance on patient cases, real-world treatment applications, and feedback on clinical decision-making. You’ll be mentored by an experienced dermatologist and other professionals in the field, ensuring that you receive continuous support and expertise as you advance in your practice.

How does the dermatology listserv work?

As soon as you sign up for the fellowship, you will be added to the listserv. Just download the AZOVA mobile app and log in to start taking advantage of the listserv and start learning from your colleagues. You can upload photos that contain no identifying information and request assistance in managing your cases and you can learn from everyone else you participates in the listserv as well. You will have access to the listserve for the year of the fellowship and can subscribe to the listserve after the fellowship to keep access long term. The ongoing subscription fee after the fellowship is only $800 per year and includes access to your teledermatology clinic software and you will continue to receive payment for teledermatology services that you complete.

What are the hours of the didactic sessions?

We hold the didactic sessions in the evenings so everyone who works during the daytime can attend. If you are unable to attend, don’t worry as every session is recorded and made available in the learning management system on your AZOVA dashboard.

What if I am unable to attend one or more of the didactic sessions?

All didactic sessions are recorded. If you miss any sessions, you can watch and listen from your dashboard in AZOVA.

What kind of certification will I receive at the end of the fellowship?

Upon successfully completing the program, including the initial assessment, you will receive a certificate indicating your participation and proficiency. This certification demonstrates your proficiency in diagnosing and treating common dermatology conditions and equips you with the skills to confidently offer dermatology services in your practice.

Can I get CME credit for completing this fellowship?

We are in the process of applying for CME accreditation, but it currently is not available. We will let all participants know as soon as CME is available.

What happens after the fellowship is completed?

After the fellowship, you can choose to keep your access to the dermatology listserve and the teledermatology clinic for an ongoing fee of only $800 per year. This enables you to continue to collaborate with a network of professionals, consult on complex cases, keep your teledermatology clinic, keep access to the dermatology listserv and grow your practice.

How does the program help me build a dermatology practice?

The program provides you with the skills, knowledge, and tools to launch or expand a dermatology into practice. With telemedicine integration, you’ll be able to reach patients remotely, saving time and increasing your patient base. You’ll also receive continued mentorship, guidance on patient management, and marketing support, including a personalized microsite to showcase your services for prescribers.

Can I work full-time while completing this program?

Yes, the program is designed to be flexible. With online training modules and telemedicine integration, you can continue working in your current practice and job while completing the program. The first 8 weeks require active participation in online learning, but after that, you can pace your monthly coursework and integrate patient care into your schedule as you see fit.

What makes this different from other dermatology programs?

This program goes beyond just theoretical learning—it offers practical, real-world experience. You’ll receive continuous mentorship, the ability to treat patients via telemedicine, and training in advanced dermatological techniques. Additionally, the flexibility of telemedicine allows you to build a sustainable practice that fits your lifestyle. With ongoing support and a network of like-minded professionals, this program ensures your long-term growth in the dermatology field.

What is the relationship between CLMD and AZOVA?

CLMD and AZOVA work together to provide a comprehensive dermatology training and telemedicine service. AZOVA handles the teledermatology platform, allowing our graduates to offer remote consultations, while CLMD provides the trusted dermatology protocols and product line used in the training. Together, we offer a seamless experience to help you expand your practice and provide top-quality care to your patients.
