Candidates must have completed their dermatology residency training up to PGY-4 or PGY-5 in the United States, be board eligible/board-certified in Dermatology and eligible for appointment at Brown University as Assistant Professor.

The clinical effort is in outpatient clinics and/or inpatient consults based on the candidate’s preference. The academic effort will include: working closely with the Program Directors, Associate Program Director, and residency coordinators at Rhode Island Hospital and Roger Williams Medical Center; building clinical schedules, didactic and other hands-on curricula, and extra-curricular activities; participating and leading teaching and training; tracking milestones and core competency discussions; interacting with the GME and ACGME; and innovating in education through research and program development. Educational research will be strongly supported, with mentoring available for study design, IRB submission, statistical analysis, and publishing in medical education.
