The UCI Dermatology Residency offers training at inpatient and outpatient sites, as well as pediatric dermatology and dermatopathology rotations, allowing for a broad clinical education for all trainees.

Inpatient Consult Services

Residents have a 10-week dedicated block of inpatient consults in the PGY-3 and PGY-4 years at the UCI Medical Center and cover the VA Long Beach inpatient service during their 10-week VA rotation blocks in the PGY-2 year. Residents complete these rotations at the following inpatient sites:

Outpatient Training Sites

At our outpatient training sites, the residents gain significant experience in surgical and laser procedures during all three years of residency. We also perform Mohs surgical excisions and laser procedures at many of these facilities during all three years of the program. Interdisciplinary specialty clinics, including birthmarks and vascular anomalies, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, gynecologic dermatology, immunobullous diseases, hair disorders, immunosuppression and skin cancer, melanoma, and dermatology/rheumatology are also conducted at several of the sites below.

Resident outpatient training occurs at the following locations:

Pediatric Dermatology

During the pediatric dermatology rotation blocks in the PGY2 and PGY3 years, the residents have the opportunity to rotate at the Children’s Health of Orange County in multidisciplinary clinics including vascular anomalies, tuberous sclerosis and recently a clinical trial in epidermolysis bullosa.

Dermatopathology

The residents rotate through the dermatopathology service at UCI Health during all three years of training, previewing cases, signing out with our board-certified dermatopathologists and reviewing teaching slide sets. These rotations offer exposure to a range of inflammatory conditions and neoplasms that affect the skin, mucous membranes and superficial soft tissue.
