Our large patient base and affiliations with multiple private and hospital-based clinics provide exposure to a broad spectrum of dermatologic conditions
The Dermatology Residency Program at Baylor University Medical Center, part of Baylor Scott & White Health, provides an excellent ACGME-accredited residency training experience in the diverse, vibrant city of Dallas, Texas.
We accept two residents per year.
Our three-year program provides comprehensive exposure to as well as hands-on experience in general dermatology and dermatologic subspecialties, with strengths in the breadth of medical dermatology and complexity of surgical dermatology seen at our clinical sites. Our unique, community-based program maintains academic rigor through interactive didactic sessions and one-on-one clinical instruction from our dedicated faculty of locally and nationally recognized dermatologists, many of whom hold leadership positions in dermatologic societies and are active in research and publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Our mission is to support residents in achieving their unique career goals by training physicians capable of delivering outstanding patient care across a variety of dermatologic disciplines. Our graduates have gone on to obtain academic appointments and fellowship positions and have also felt prepared to practice independently serving communities across the country.
