Procedural Skills Taught During UTMB Dermatology Rotations
Dr. Julie Martin, a PGY4 UTMB dermatology resident, has initiated a procedural skills workshop for dermatology elective students during the 2012-2013 academic year. Rotating students will be taught how to perform tangential biopsies, punch biopsies, and suturing techniques. Students will also become familiar with the surgical instruments frequently used by dermatologists. This new educational offering is part of her dermatology scholarly project. Other scholarly projects by the current UTMB PGY4 dermatology residents are described on the UTMB homepage: http://www.utmb.edu/dermatology/current_research_projects/index.html
