This knowledge can only be obtained by following patients for months to years. Conferences The didactic training sessions are conducted by the faculty, selected by the residents and regulated by the resident staff. The clinics at the University of Maryland Hospital and the Veterans Affairs Hospital meet in the mornings and afternoons respectively. The fact that you will be attending these clinics daily and have primary responsibility for the patients over the course of your three years is unique in American dermatological training programs. Every afternoon, one resident serves as in-hospital consultant.
Surgical clinic meets weekly.
Research Research experience is available at the University of Maryland dermatology service. Residents are required to participate in a project during their residency years. Adequate funds for supplies and technical help are in place. Any research proposal requiring the guidance of faculty in another department can be pursued in the laboratories of those departments within the medical complex. The dermatological surgery experience is excellent.
