We offer a three-year ACGME-accredited residency program. Our world-class faculty is dedicated to preparing trainees for careers in academia, private practice and administration. The department’s faculty are actively engaged in education, mentorship and clinical, translational and basic science research.
Didactics
The Dermatology Residency hosts a structured basic science and clinical education didactic program every Friday morning, which includes journal club, morphology conferences, lectures given by faculty, residents and outside speakers, and dermatopathology unknowns. This instruction encompasses all areas for which residents are examined by the American Board of Dermatology.
Conferences
Our monthly conferences include Grand Rounds, Dowling Club, dermatologic surgery specialty review, and pigmented lesions and cutaneous oncology tumor board.
We also have an annual Skin Symposium, meetings held by the UC Irvine Skin Club and quarterly meetings of the Dermatologic Society of Orange County.
Residents attend the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology and additional meetings pertinent to their research. They also have the opportunity to pursue elective rotations based on their clinical interests.
The UC Irvine Department of Dermatology offers a $2,500 scholarship to support an underrepresented medical student attending our dermatology clerkship.
