The Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology of the NYU School of Medicine has a rich history as a pioneer in the field since its beginnings in the 1800’s as the first American institution devoted to the care of cutaneous diseases and cancer. Many current and past leaders of dermatology in America and beyond – and many fine departments - can trace their origins to NYU. Our residents are guided by world-renowned faculty as they rotate through a wealth of general and specialty clinics atNYU’s Skin and Cancer Unit, Bellevue Hospital (the oldest public hospital in the US), and the Manhattan VA. Our trainees build a deep fund of knowledge in general dermatology and across all medical and procedural subspecialties and dermatopathology. Graduates of our program match into competitive fellowships and are sought after for academic appointments at top institutions across the country.
