Combined Medicine-Dermatology Residency

The Combined Internal Medicine-Dermatology Residency Program is designed to prepare residents for careers in both Internal Medicine and Dermatology. Upon successful completion of the combined program, residents will be eligible for the certifying exams in each specialty and will be well prepared for advanced training, fellowships or careers in either field.

This five-year program splits time evenly in the Internal Medicine and Dermatology residency training programs. Our learning and teaching style emphasizes experiential and active learning, close mentorship, and teamwork in a challenging yet fostering academic environment.

Curriculum is based on the six core competencies set by the ACGME: Patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism and systems-based practice. Browse the following pages to learn more:
