Q. As residents, do we have the opportunity to teach? A. Yes. Each month, two rotators join our department, either from our primary care residencies or regional medical schools. The dermatology residents interact extensively with these rotators. Q. Are all clinical rotations spent in the dermatology clinic? A. Yes. Continuity of care receives strong emphasis in our program. There are no "off-site" clinics or other hospitals required for your clinical experience. Q. Is clinical research available? A. Available, encouraged, and expected! Numerous opportunities exist for publications and presentations, and one day per week is designated as an independent "study-research" day for each resident. Additionally, a research rotation is offered to 2nd year residents. Q. Will I have a sufficient surgical experience? A. Absolutely. We have three Mohs surgeons with rotations each year for each resident, in addition to on-going surgical clinics and monthly surgery journal club. Q. What specialty clinics are available in this program? A. We have specialty clinics in pediatric dermatology, wound management, lasers, melanoma and surgical dermatology. |
