University of Florida Program

The Dermatology Residency Program at the University of Florida is a three-year training program aimed at providing residents with comprehensive training in skin diseases. The program focuses on equipping residents with the necessary medical and surgical skills to diagnose and treat dermatologic disorders effectively.

Residents undergo clinical rotations that are complemented by conferences and lectures to enrich their learning experiences. The program emphasizes continuous improvement of residents' clinical skills and medical knowledge through frequent evaluations by full-time faculty members. In addition, residents participate in mock dermatology board examinations annually to assess their proficiency in basic sciences and clinical dermatology.

The curriculum at the University of Florida Department of Dermatology offers a structured 3-year residency program accredited by the ACGME. The program is designed to develop residents' expertise in clinical dermatology, teaching, research, and basic science.

For applicants interested in the Dermatopathology Fellowship, the University of Florida outlines specific requirements. All applicants must have passed USMLE Steps 1, 2, and 3, as well as the CSA. The program requires that applicants be board-eligible or certified in anatomic or clinical pathology, or clinical dermatology by the start of the fellowship. International Medical Graduates (IMGs) must hold valid ECFMG certificates. While the university supports J1 visas, it does not support H1B visas.
