Two residents are appointed each year by the Department of Dermatology. Only applicants who are willing to stay for the full three-year training period will be considered.

All applicants must complete a PGY-1 internship before starting their dermatology residency.

Residents are expected to participate and take leadership roles in conferences and teaching responsibilities. Dermatopathology is an essential part of the dermatology training program, and regular teaching sessions are conducted by the dermatopathologist.
