First Year Residency - 12 Months (PGY-2)
The first year is divided into several periods. During one period the resident's primary responsibility is the supervision of the inpatient service. During the remaining periods, the resident attends the university and Veterans Administration clinics under the supervision of attending physicians. Emphasis is placed upon careful observation and controlled use of therapeutic measures. Clinical and basic science conferences are designed to supplement a scholarly approach to education. They are designed to foster the interchange of ideas and to encourage critical thought.

The second-year residency is devoted to the acquisition of a firm foundation in the basic sciences and clinical practices of dermatology with a portion of the year being devoted to histopathology of the skin under the direct supervision of a full-time dermatopathologist. Pediairic dermatology is an area stressed in the second year with clinical experience being acquired in the Jackson pediatric dermatology clinic run jointly by the Departments of Pediatrics and Dermatology. All clinical training is adequately supervised by an attending dermatologist from the community. Conferences and seminars are plentiful. Critical reading in depth is expected, and original research by the resident is encouraged.
Third-Year Residency - 12 Months (PGY-4)
At this level considerable latitude is available depending on the individual's interest. In addition to a continuation of at least a portion of the activities outlined in the more formal first and second years, the resident will assume more responsibilities as the Chief Resident and a period as resident for consultations throughout the hospital. Several mornings a week are devoted to surgical training including such procedures as hair transplants, scalp reductions, extensive removals of tumors, skin grafting, placement of flaps, etc. on a one-to-one basis with an experienced skin surgeon. It is expected that some clinical or laboratory studies will be accomplished during the residency period, and that these will be published by the residents as part of their training in medical writing and communications.
