About the Program
The Department of Dermatology has a proud history of training outstanding dermatology residents for more than 60 years. The faculty members who comprise our teaching faculty dedicate the majority of their academic effort to teaching and mentoring the superior dermatology residents in our department. As we deliver high quality and compassionate patient care, we strive to create a training atmosphere centered on mutual respect, collegiality, humanism, and innovation.
Overview
The UAMS Dermatology Residency Program is an ACGME-accredited three-year advanced residency. UAMS does not offer a four-year categorical option, so applicants must apply separately for a PGY-1 training program if not already completed.
We match three residents into our training program each year, giving us a total of nine residents.
The UAMS Dermatology Residency Program participates in the National Residency Match Program and only accepts applications for our training program through ERAS. There are three training sites in our program – The UAMS Medical Center, the John L. McClellan Memorial Veterans Hospital, and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Members of the teaching faculty are actively involved at each teaching site and provide omnipresent direct supervision to residents.
