Among the more than 100 medical specialties and subspecialties, the Department of Dermatology was the third department established at the clinic and is currently located on the sixth floor of the outpatient superstructure known as the Crile Building
The department has grown over the years to include 7 full time clinical staff including specialists in general dermatology, contact and occupational dermatitis, phototherapy, oral and bullous diseases, and hair disease. Our surgical dermatology department includes 7 full time Mohs and cosmetic surgeons with and lasers, peels, dermabrasion, botox, fillers, liposuction, and sclerotherapy routinely performed. We also have a full time research staff. Currently, 13 residents glean extensive training in this all-encompassing dermatologic learning environment.

Program Goals
The Department of Dermatology offers a four-year training program that fulfills the requirements of the American Board of Dermatology. Candidates apply for a four-year program to include a year of transitional GL-1 training. Exposure to dermatology is available to GL-1 residents, residents in internal medicine, senior medical residents and some paramedical personnel on a rotational basis.
Residents in dermatology may rotate on other services such as allergy and immunology, vascular medicine and hematology, depending on their specific interests. The entire range of dermatologic disease is represented. Diagnostic and therapeutic challenge is the rule, since most patients are referred for consultation either from other departments within Cleveland Clinic or from outside sources.
