The Dermatology Residency Training Program in the Department of Dermatology
at The University of Iowa is a fully approved, three-year program which
provides trainees with the educational and practical experience that
will enable them to deliver superior specialized skin care to patients.
There is particular emphasis on clinical dermatology and dermatologic
surgery. The correlation of cutaneous pathophysiology with clinical disease
and response to therapy is strongly emphasized in our clinical services.
While the emphasis of training in this department is clinical, research
(either clinical or laboratory) is encouraged and adequate time for such
research studies will be made available on an individual basis.
There are 13 positions in the Dermatology Residency Training
Program. All trainees are expected to complete the three-year program,
but appointments
are for one year with yearly reappointment. Four or five new residents
are accepted per year. The number varies depending upon the number
of residents finishing that year. It is expected that all trainees will
be eligible to sit for the examination of the American Board of Dermatology
(ABD) upon completion of their residency. N.B.- All applicants
must have
a preliminary year of postgraduate medical training (PGY-1). The first
year must consist of clinical training in one of the following types
of broad-based programs in the United States accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) , or similar broad-based
programs in Canada accredited by the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC):
1) - a transitional year (formerly called flexible first postgraduate
year)
or
2) - a first year residency in internal medicine, general surgery,
family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, or emergency
medicine. |
