UTMB Dermatology Reorganizing Clinical Dermatology Elective and Acting Internship Selective
Starting Period 1 of the 2014-2015 academic year (June 30th) UTMB’s popular Clinical Dermatology elective (DERU-4010) and Acting Internship Selective (DERU-4006) will have different curricula developed by Dr. Audra Clos, the new dermatology chief resident for medical student education. She has selected a popular dermatology textbook for these clinical rotations (Habif, 5th edition) and will supplement assigned readings and scheduled faculty lectures with American Academy of Dermatology web-based educational materials. Students will be given a clinical quiz at the beginning and end of the rotation, to evaluate what has been learned. Students will also be assigned journal articles to present at the Friday journal clubs.
