First Year of Dermatology (PGY2)<\/h3>\n

Outpatient Clinic at UConn Health: PGY2 residents spend a majority of their time at UConn Health. This includes a continuity clinic of their own patients one afternoon a week. This is where they receive the bulk of their general dermatology, pediatric dermatology and cosmetic dermatology training.<\/p>\n

Veterans Hospital of Newington: PGY2 residents are assigned five half days a week at the Veterans Hospital for four months.<\/p>\n

Saint Francis Hospital: PGY2 residents are assigned on half day a week at Saint Francis Hospital for four months. This is where they serve the underprivileged population.<\/p>\n

SECOND YEAR OF DERMATOLOGY (PGY3)<\/h3>\n

Outpatient Clinic at UConn Health: PGY3 residents spend a majority of their time at UConn Health. This includes a continuity clinic of their own patients one afternoon a week as well as a high volume senior resident clinic and senior cosmetic clinic on a rotating basis. This is where they receive the bulk of their general dermatology, pediatric dermatology and cosmetic dermatology training.<\/p>\n

Veterans Hospital of Newington: PGY3 residents are assigned five half days a week at the Veterans Hospital for 2 months.<\/p>\n

Hartford Hospital: For two months each year, PGY3\/4 residents spend three half-days a week on the inpatient consult service at Hartford Hospital. This rotation is strictly inpatient and allows for exposure to complex medical-derm cases including connective tissue disease, advanced infectious disease, drug reactions, oncodermatology, and a variety of inflammatory dermatoses.<\/p>\n

Specialty Rotations: PGY3 residents are assigned 1 month in Dermatologic Surgery, one month in Dermatopathology, and one month in Pediatric Dermatology at UConn Health. This experience allows for a focused approach to both pathology and surgery, and gives residents a more in-depth understanding of each field and their application to general dermatology.<\/p>\n

CHIEF YEAR OF DERMATOLOGY (PGY4)<\/h3>\n

Outpatient Clinic at UConn Health: Chief residents spend a majority of their time at UConn Health. This includes a continuity clinic of their own patients one afternoon a week as well as a high volume senior resident clinic and senior cosmetic clinic on a rotating basis. This is where they receive the bulk of their general dermatology, pediatric dermatology and cosmetic dermatology training.<\/p>\n

Veterans Hospital of Newington: Chief residents are assigned five half days a week at the Veterans Hospital for 2 months.<\/p>\n

Specialty Rotations: Chief residents are assigned 1 month in Dermatologic Surgery, one month in Dermatopathology, and one month in either Dermatologic Surgery or Dermatopathology or Pediatric Dermatology at UConn Health. This experience allows for a focused approach to both pathology and surgery, and gives residents a more in-depth understanding of each field and their application to general dermatology.<\/p>\n

Elective Time: Chief residents are given a one month elective during their final year. This is an opportunity to pursue a specific interest on a deeper level, or explore a topic that may not be covered in the normal curriculum. In the past, residents have pursued electives in tropical dermatology, oral pathology, and specific aspects of surgical and pediatric dermatology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
