About the program
The residency is a three-year training program, fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Board of Dermatology.
With nine full-time and nine part-time volunteer faculty members, our staff-to-trainee ratio offers residents a highly personalized training experience.
Our curriculum utilizes experiential learning, as well as deliberate and reflective practices to build competence in the diagnosis, pathogenesis (including histopathology and immunopathology), treatment and prevention of skin diseases.
Our VIRTUAL interviews will take place on two Saturdays, December 3 and 10, 2022 in the a.m. Our program is selecting two residents who will begin in July 2024. Rush is participating in the standardized interview offer date initiative sponsored by the Association of Professors of Dermatology. Our first round of interview invites will be released on Monday, November 7th. Additional interview invites will be released as/if they become available starting after November 11, 2022.
