Dermatology: Sites of Patient Care
The Department of Dermatology provides a wide spectrum of medical and surgical clinical services. Faculty members and residents of the Department of Dermatology see patients primarily at the clinics on the Medical School campus located at 676 North St. Clair, Suite 1600 in Chicago. Satellite clinics are available at Prentice Hospital (Women's Skin Health Program) and in the suburbs (Mohs surgery facilities). Pediatric patients are seen by the pediatric specialists at the Children's Memorial Hospital’s ambulatory center (2515 N. Clark Street) and Children’s satellite clinics. As part of their training program, dermatology residents also have the opportunity to see patients at the Lakeside Veteran’s Administration Hospital.
