About the program
St. John's Episcopal Hospital's dermatology residency began July 1, 2001 and is a 3-year ACGME-accredited program (formerly AOA) completed after a traditional first year; it has grown to nine residents. Training covers medical, surgical, cosmetic and pediatric dermatology and dermatopathology, with weekly grand rounds, journal club, Kodachromes and dermpath sessions with three dermatopathologists. Residents manage their own continuity-clinic panel, train with four Mohs surgeons, join clinical trials, run monthly cosmetic clinics (injectables, peels, lasers, microneedling, PRP) and rotate through practices across the five boroughs and Long Island. Each resident takes about six weeks of inpatient consult call per year.
