Dermatologic Surgery
Dermatologic Surgery: A broad education in dermatologic surgery focuses on proper biopsy technique, surgical excision, wound repair with linear closure, flap repair, and graft repair. Two Mohs surgeons perform over 750 cases of Mohs surgery annually and dedicated months of dermatologic surgery are provided in each year of residency. The resident also receives instruction and hands on experience in the performance of vascular lesion laser, pigmented lesion laser, carbon dioxide laser, pulsed carbon dioxide laser, and hair removal laser. Residents learn to inject Collagen and BOTOX and to perform basic sclerotherapy. Through a rotation with general surgery residents learn the basics of sentinel lymph node biopsy. A didactic surgical training course offers the following lectures:
1. Mohs Surgery
2. Facial Anatomy
3. Lasers in Dermatology
4. Flaps
5. Grafts
6. Botox and Collagen

Bacteriology and Microbiology
Bacteriology and Microbiology: A series of didactic lectures on the bacteria and fungi that cause dermatologic disease is presented. In addition residents have a rotation in Microbiology in order to learn how to plate and grow organisms that commonly cause dermatologic disease. A rotation in infectious disease exposes residents to the dermatologic manifestations of Hepatitis C and HIV disease as well as to a wide variety of exotic diseases from abroad.
