Objective
Our intensive dermatology sequence for first-year medical students supplies activities designed to correlate basic science with clinical dermatologic phenomena. As a clinical specialty, dermatology is very visual and accordingly, students will be exposed to a considerable number of photos of real skin diseases. In addition, students will learn by observing clinic patients with fixed cutaneous findings.
Curriculum
This sequence consists of 4 days of lectures, an afternoon of live-patient Grand Rounds, dermatology consults for interested students and a Pathology Lab.
Lecture Series
As part of a series of faculty lectures, students are provided core information on dermatology. Lecturers discuss changes in the skin - neonates to aged individuals - and skin pigmentation.
Schedule
The M1 Skin Sequence is part of the Scientific Trunk and generally occurs in June.
