Dermatology Residency Training Information
Educational Goals Of The Rotations
The three year dermatology residency training program is designed to give residents the scope and breadth of clinical training to make them experts in skin disease. They will acquire the medical and surgical skills required to diagnose and treat patients with dermatologic disorders. The clinical rotations are correlated with conferences and lectures to enhance their learning experience.
It is expected that the residents’ fund of knowledge and clinical skills will improve each year. This will be evaluated in several ways. First, they will have daily exposure to geographic full-time faculty. Second, each faculty will give a written evaluation of all the residents every 6 months. The director of the training program will discuss these evaluations and their performance with each resident. Third, attendance, punctuality, and participation will be monitored on a daily basis.
Finally, each resident will sit for a mock dermatology board examination each year. This test examines their fund of knowledge in both the basic sciences and clinical dermatology. Scores are broken down into 4 different categories. Individual resident scores are compared to their PGY peer groups from across the country from other training programs.
