The dermatology residency is a fully accredited three-year training program approved by the American Board of Dermatology. Upon successful completion of this training program, the candidate is eligible for examination leading to certification by the American Board of Dermatology.

The training program provides residents with extensive clinical experience under the supervision of full-time faculty members. Increasing responsibility for patient care occurs over the 3-year residency.  The close integration of clinical and research activities is designed to give residents a solid foundation in the fundamentals of dermatologic pathophysiology so that these principles can be applied to the care of patients.

The Department of Dermatology at Duke is committed to teaching residents. The faculty set clear expectations for how to be a successful resident. Over the last decade, over 30 residents and fellows have trained here. Many of these residents are currently pursuing full-time academic careers. In addition, Duke Dermatology alumni have served as medical school deans, chairpersons of departments and divisions of dermatology and officers in local, state and national dermatology organizations.
