The Dermatology Residency Program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine is a 3-year advanced clinical training program designed to develop expertise in diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. The program combines hands-on patient care with structured academic learning, enabling residents to gain strong clinical, surgical, and research skills. Training takes place in a highly specialized academic environment with exposure to a diverse patient population and complex dermatologic conditions. Residents receive comprehensive experience in medical dermatology, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology, and cosmetic dermatology, along with opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary collaboration. The overall goal is to produce dermatologists who are clinically competent, academically strong, and capable of delivering compassionate patient care.
