Dermatology Rotation For Medical Students

Goal Statement

We welcome you to Dermatology, which is not a medical subspecialty. In addition, it is one that sees both children and adults. It is a dynamic and academically rigorous primary specialty involving the recognition and management of disorders of skin, accessible mucosal surfaces, and adnexal structures. The rotating medical student should learn how to examine the skin, how to describe cutaneous findings, and how to recognize common skin disorders. The diagnosis and pathophysiology of common skin diseases will be emphasized. We hope to provide you an educationally rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Teaching Methods

Patient evaluation

Bedside teaching rounds

Small group discussions

Didactic lectures

Assigned readings

Evaluation
Learning goals are established with each medical student by the attending at the beginning of the month. Formative face-to-face feedback occurs at mid-month and at the end of the rotation.
Medical students should evaluate the rotation formally through written evaluations and contact with the Course Director.
Medical students are informally evaluated by the attending(s) in clinic after each session. At the conclusion of the one-month rotation, the course director or his designee will complete a written evaluation of each medical student, in consultation with the other faculty and the dermatology residents. Rotating medical students in attendance less than the full four week period may be evaluated on only a pass/not pass basis.
