Mayo's patient mix offers experience with both routine general dermatology cases and unusual skin disorders, ensuring strong training in diagnostics.
Matching to the Dermatology Residency includes the one-year Internal Medicine Preliminary Residency (PGY-1) that is available only for trainees who complete all of their residency training at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida.
