RESIDENCY TRAINING

The goal of our residency program is to train physicians to be world-class providers of dermatologic care with the highest ethical standards and to produce leaders in academic and clinical dermatology. The training program involves clinical rotations at New York Hospital, Memorial Hospital, and Lincoln Hospital. Residents also participate in clinical training at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the Catholic Medical Center, Coler-Goldwater Hospitals and Brooklyn Hospital.

In addition to clinical training in the clinics and on the wards, our residents receive didactic education through lectures, textbook reviews, and courses centered on various aspects of the basic sciences relevant to dermatology, clinical sciences, diagnosis and treatment. Some of these sessions are now held collaboratively with the Columbia-Presbyterian Dermatology Training Program. In particular, a new educational forum has been developed with Columbia-Presbyterian. This forum, known as the New York Dermatologic Experience, brings world leaders in various aspects of cutaneous science or cutaneous medicine to New York for resident education. Dermatology residents from the entire tri-state area are encouraged to attend these sessions.
