The primary aim of the clinical trials in dermatology program at the University of Connecticut is to train outstanding clinical Dermatologists who train in a program that provides a broad and high quality training experience which includes exposure to the clinical trials that are being conducted at that time through the dermatology department. Quality training can involve exposure to a wide variety of patients. This training should prepare applicants to pursue a dermatology residency if they desire after graduation. Graduates will be strong candidates for dermatology residency programs.

The program will be structured to provide a nurturing environment and resident wellness will be a priority. Recognizing that training successful residents also entails prioritizing the training environment so that learning can occur most effectively and the overall experience will be positive. This includes celebrating and honoring diversity and promoting mutual support and wellness.
