"Teaching" is a core mission for the Duke Department of Dermatology. To accomplish this mission, we aspire:

  • To train dermatology residents to become excellent clinicians who practice medicine with the highest of ethical standards.
  • To develop the next generation of leaders in academic and clinical dermatology.
  • To train students and other physicians in basic care of patients with skin disease.
  • To provide continuing education to dermatologists in our department and community.
