Residency Program

The Dermatology Residency Program is a three-year program in which resident physicians beginning at the PGY-2 level receive training in the specialty of dermatology. At completion of their training, residents are qualified to sit for the American Board of Dermatology and provide dermatologic care. Our program now allows for eleven residents.
