Georgetown Dermatology Residency Training Program

The Georgetown University Hospital-Washington Hospital Center Dermatology Training Program uses both hospitals and their outpatient facilities as training as sites for future dermatologists. In addition, the Washington Hospital Center Internal Medicine-Dermatology Training Program also uses the dermatology clinical facilities of Georgetown University Hospital as part of the dermatology portion of that training program. Dr Moshell, Chief of Dermatology at Georgetown University Hospital, is director of both training programs. The presence of these training programs assures that we remain at the forefront of the rapidly changing field of dermatology, incorporating all the newest components of diagnosis and treatment into our programs as soon as they are proven, and participating in some of the clinical research in these areas (although no patient will ever be given experimental treatment unless they are informed and give full informed consent in advance).

Background

Dr. Alan N. Moshell began planning for the merger in October 2006 by identifying the strengths of each program. He worked to integrate clinic and conference schedules that same month and in the succeeding months have produced a program of considerable depth and quality.

  • Joint Basic Science Conference, Grand Rounds and Journal Club

  • Expanded clinic experiences for the residents in General Dermatology, Extracorporal photophoresis and phototherapy

  • A clinical rotation for advanced Dermatology residents at the National Institutes of Health

  • More varied and graduated specialty clinic experiences in contact dermatitis, pediatric dermatology, podiatry, laser surgery, cosmetic and plastic surgery, and Mohs micrographic surgery

  • Incorporating into the program the informational resource network and libraries of Georgetown University

  • An indepth exposure to Dermatopathology instruction with three onsite dermatopathologists.

  • A core teaching faculty (Drs. Dugan, DeWitt, MacGregor, Chen, McKinley-Grant, Moshell, Nigra, Giannelli, Peck, Coats-Walton, Epps, Silverman, Davidson).
