What is a Dermatologist PA?

A Dermatologist PA is a Physician Assistant who specializes in dermatology, working under the supervision of a board-certified dermatologist. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions, perform skin exams, prescribe medications, and assist with procedures like biopsies or minor surgeries. Dermatologist PAs play a vital role in patient care, education, and often help manage chronic skin diseases. They also provide preventive care and may assist in cosmetic dermatology treatments. To become a Dermatologist PA, one must complete a PA program, obtain licensure, and often receive specialized dermatology training.

What are some common challenges Dermatologist PAs face when managing patient expectations regarding treatment outcomes?

Dermatologist PAs often encounter patients with high expectations about rapid or dramatic improvements in their skin conditions. It can be challenging to educate patients about the realistic timelines and potential side effects of dermatological treatments, especially for chronic issues like acne, psoriasis, or eczema. Effective communication and patient education are crucial for building trust and ensuring adherence to long-term care plans. Collaborating closely with supervising dermatologists and leveraging team resources helps PAs address concerns and provide comprehensive, empathetic care.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Dermatologist PA, and why are they important?

A Dermatologist PA (Physician Assistant) needs a strong background in medical sciences, dermatological procedures, and must hold a PA degree with appropriate state licensure and certification, often including specialized training in dermatology. Familiarity with dermatology-specific tools such as dermatoscopes, laser devices, and electronic medical records is essential. Excellent interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to educate patients set top performers apart. These competencies ensure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and high-quality patient care in a specialized and evolving field.

What is the difference between Dermatologist PA vs Dermatologist?

Work EnvironmentClinics, hospitals, dermatology practicesHospitals, private practices, academic centers

Job description

The Department of Dermatology is excited to announce an opportunity for a cosmetic dermatologist to become part of our full-time faculty! Join a dynamic team of cosmetic dermatologists and advanced practice providers led by Dr. Suzan Obagi at our Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Health Center, situated in Wexford, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA.


Our Wexford facility, just 20 minutes from downtown, features a cutting-edge cosmetic program that is rapidly growing. Nestled in a picturesque suburban area, our newly constructed 11,000 square foot office provides an ideal environment for aesthetic practices. Equipped with three procedure rooms and over ten advanced laser systems—including q-switched, fractional CO2, vascular lasers, hair removal lasers, non-ablative lasers, and skin-tightening devices—our center attracts patients from across the tri-state region seeking treatments such as neuromodulators, fillers, laser therapies, liposuction, mini-facelifts, and blepharoplasties.


Our second location is in the charming Shadyside neighborhood, located just 10 minutes from the city. This site caters to our laser and injectables clientele, drawing patients from a broad area of the state.


We invite board-certified and board-eligible physicians with a passion for both cosmetic and medical dermatology to apply. Candidates can expect a collaborative culture, a substantial referral network, a competitive salary, malpractice coverage, health insurance, and a CME allowance.


Our department serves a diverse and medically intricate population in the greater Pittsburgh area, while also attracting patients from across Pennsylvania and the surrounding states. The extensive University of Pittsburgh/UPMC campus encompasses 40 hospitals and 800 outpatient clinical locations, along with a global healthcare presence. The Department of Dermatology operates seven clinics, offering a range of services including general dermatology, phototherapy, laser treatments, Mohs micrographic surgery, and aesthetic services, as well as inpatient consultations. Our Dermatopathology unit is located on our Oakland campus, staffed by four full-time dermatopathologists and two dermatopathology fellows. Additionally, our teledermatology program provides both synchronous and asynchronous care to patients statewide, facilitating inpatient consultations and in-office e-consults with community physicians.


We are an affirmative action, equal-opportunity employer. We encourage women and minorities to apply. All qualified candidates will be considered for employment without discrimination based on disability or protected veteran status.
