Teaching & Research Opportunities

Residents are responsible for much of the instruction of rotating 4th year medical students, medicine residents, family practice residents, and pediatric residents. On average, 2 students and one or 2 rotating residents are assigned to dermatology each month. Residents also teach 1st and 2nd year medical students during preclinical dermatology blocks.

Most residents have participated in clinical research and other scholarly projects such as preparing case reports and reviewing articles and developing Internet-based teaching materials. Opportunities to conduct basic science research exist within the division of dermatology and medical school, but we do not encourage our residents to pursue bench research during their three years of training due to time constraints.
