Residents have the opportunity to teach U-M Medical School students and visiting students from other medical schools through bedside instruction and formal didactic lectures.
To ensure that participants acquire adequate knowledge and develop their technical skills, participants' performance is monitored carefully throughout residency training. Residents are evaluated formally by supervising faculty members. Residents also evaluate the faculty regularly to ensure that educational needs are being met. The evaluation process assesses the ACGME core competencies.
Residents meet periodically with various faculty members, administrators and the program director to discuss professional goals. Michigan Medicine recruits many staff physicians from our own training programs.
Administrative, regulatory, ethical and legal issues are major aspects of medicine today and are covered continually during clinics and in conferences. As a resident, you will learn how to work on practice-based improvement projects through participation in departmental administrative activities and work groups. Practice management discussions also teach administrative aspects of the department. In these sessions, you will explore various topics including the challenges of managing a university department as well as issues related to private practice management.
Our residents' success in their research endeavors is evident in their publications and presentations. Dermatology residents are encouraged to collaborate with clinical faculty to develop clinical case reports and case reviews, retrospective studies and clinical research projects.
The mission of the University of Michigan Medical School Department of Dermatology Residency Wellness Committee is to promote the development of residents through initiatives and events that foster personal, professional, and emotional well-being.
Welcome! We are devoted to training diverse leaders in dermatology to advance the field through excellent patient care, innovative research, and dedication to life-long learning for themselves and others. Our program offers a stimulating, multifaceted experience within a supportive environment where teaching and learning are a foremost priority. If you are committed to excellence in all that you do, we invite you to apply for training at the University of Michigan.
