Deadline for applications: October 31, 2009

Only Applications through ERAS to the combined Medicine/Dermatology program will be accepted.

The Department of Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Department of Dermatology sponsor a combined Internal Medicine/Dermatology Residency Training Program. It is a five-year training program that allows residents to train simultaneously in internal medicine and dermatology, leading to board eligibility in both. The first year is training in internal medicine, the second year is training in dermatology, and years 3-5 include 6 months of internal medicine and 6 months of dermatology. This program will provide an opportunity for the applicants interested in expanding their medical training and is suited for individuals interested in the care of complex medical dermatology patients or in an academic career related to developing expertise in an area of medical dermatology. The five years of curriculum has been designed jointly by the Departments of Medicine and Dermatology under the direction of Dr. Lisa Bellini and Dr. Victoria Werth.
