Facilities and Experiences
The Department is located in modern outpatient clinical quarters consisting
of 16 examining rooms, five surgical suites, a laser surgical suite and
a phototherapy suite. Departmental offices, including offices for residents
and fellows, and spacious teaching, laboratory, conference and library
facilities are contiguous with the departmental out-patient clinic area.
A modern dermatologic library, including audiovisual and computer-assisted
materials, is integral to the department area. The full service Hardin
Library for the Health Sciences (340,000 bound volumes and 2,500 serials
and journals) is immediately across the street. The dermatology in-patient
service resides in the R. J. Carver Pavilion, a 2 minute indoor walk
from the departmental clinic. The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
has 845 beds and provides services to over 530,000 ambulatory patient
clinic visits annually. Departmental research laboratories occupy 3,000
square feet in the medical laboratory facilities that are also close
by.
Approximately 25,000 patient visits are made to the department
clinic annually. All patients are available for student, resident and
fellow teaching. Residents are encouraged and expected to carry a major
responsibility for patient care under faculty supervision. The dermatology
outpatient clinic at the 327 bed Veterans Administration Medical Center
of Iowa City provides additional resident training experience. The
diversity of case material is enriched significantly by the referral
patterns (extramural
and intramural) to this tertiary health care center from the large
geographic area of Iowa and western Illinois. Residents see additional
rare cases
through regular attendance at regional and national dermatologic meetings.
It is expected that each resident will acquire sufficient knowledge
and skill over the three year program to become a diplomate of the
American Board of Dermatology, Inc. |
