UTMB Dermatology Reinstitutes Acting Internship
Good news for UTMB MS4s interested in a dermatology career! The UTMB Department of Dermatology has just requested permission to restart its popular Acting Internship (AI) in Dermatology (DERU-4006) that was suspended in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike (2008). UTMB is currently one of the few dermatology programs nationally to offer an AI. The course is limited to one MS4 during Periods 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in 2010. This timing allows UTMB faculty to write dermatology letters of recommendation for ERAS based on student performance during their dermatology AI. Students taking this course satisfy the UTMB graduation requirement for an AI during the MS4 year. MS4s interested in this AI should be able to preregister for it in the next several weeks if it is approved.
