Dermatology (DERM-MD)

This is an advanced 4-week elective that seeks to build on dermatologic knowledge and experiences gained in the pre-clerkship and clerkship years. It may be used to build upon experience from the 2-week Dermatology Elective. As an advanced elective, students will be expected to serve at the level of a sub-intern. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the core principles, foundational knowledge, and essential skills relevant to the specialty through encounters with a diverse range of cases reflective of this specialty. Students will gain this experience through actively participating in ambulatory and inpatient programs. The elective is conducted in all three departmental services; Skin and Cancer/Tisch Hospital, Bellevue Hospital and the Veteran’s Administration Medical Center. There is an in-depth lecture series and teaching conferences daily. For further details of the elective, including student responsibilities, visit the Department of Dermatology website.
