We will train biomedical scholars to expand our understanding of skin and its disorders. An important part of the U-M Department of Dermatology's mission is to train physicians for the practice of dermatology. Established in 1912 by Dr. Udo Wile, our residency training program is one of the oldest of its kind in the United States. A broad resident training program is provided to develop clinical, diagnostic, surgical and histologic knowledge in dermatology. The program is certified by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
Residents receive extensive training from conferences, rounds and journal reviews.
Opportunities for research and other academic pursuits are available. In addition, the Udo J. Wile Visiting Professorship, honoring our first chair, brings to the department prominent dermatologists from the United States and abroad.
