Rotation Guide & Goals

Pediatric dermatology patients range in age from newborns to 18-year-old adolescents. In addition to general pediatric dermatology clinics, sub-specialty clinics in Epidermolysis Bullosa, Vascular Anomalies, and Genetic Skin Diseases are part of the rotation. General pediatric dermatology clinics have a single attending, while the sub-specialty clinics offer multi-disciplinary care for patients. Residents function as an integral part of the care team. The majority of the rotation is spent in the outpatient clinics, though inpatient consultation services are also provided.

Through a combination of supervised outpatient care and bedside teaching residents rotating in pediatric dermatology will:

Become comfortable seeing a range of pediatric patients, from birth through adolescence, and recognize the special psychosocial needs of these patients and their families.

Be able to diagnose common and uncommon pediatric dermatologic disorders and develop treatment plans for these disorders.

Understand the indications for performing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures for pediatric patients and effectively perform these procedures.
