Resident Selection

All faculty and current residents play an active role in new resident selection. We seek candidates who are very competitive academically, as demonstrated by medical class standing and, to a lesser degree, by National Medical Board examiner scores. The candidates we select are physicians who are truly committed to attainment of leadership positions in dermatology, through either an academic career or exclusively clinical practice. Words that describe our most successful residents include:

• team-oriented 
• enthusiastic 
• hard-working 
• proactive 
• conscientious 
• fun 
• well-rounded

We adopt the house staff policy without changes for resident eligibility, selection and promotion.
