Good News for UTMB Dermatology Residency
The UTMB Dermatology Residency Program received good news from the ACGME Dermatology Residency Review Committee this week. It was granted a 5 year cycle, the longest review cycle currently permitted by the ACGME for dermatology. In addition, a proposal to permanently increase the number of UTMB dermatology residents from 10 to 12 was approved. UTMB plans on adding an 11th dermatology resident to the PGY2 group starting in July 2013, and will start to review completed ERAS applications for the position and start interviewing for the position in November 2012. The 12th dermatology resident will be added to the incoming PGY2 advanced residency positions offered through the 2013 NRMP, when UTMB will be offering 4 positions for the first time. By July 2014, there will be a total of 12 dermatology residents (4 in each PGY class) in our residency program.
