The Department of Dermatology provides care to patients of all ages. As a tertiary care referral center, faculty physicians have medical expertise in general adult dermatology, pediatric dermatology, cutaneous oncology, and auto-immune skin diseases, with treatments including phototherapy, laser, and Mohs micrographic surgery. The Clinical services are provided at three sites with projected visits of 60,000 per year. The Department also provides inpatient consultation at UNC Hospitals. Our vision is to advance our missions of patient care, teaching and research through ongoing innovation and service in a supportive, caring environment for patients, staff, physicians, and all members of our health care team.
The Department of Dermatology teaches and trains students, residents, and fellows with a rigorous curriculum that prepares the highly skilled dermatologists of the future, including a commitment to train a work force that reflects the people we serve. The Department’s residency program is a nationally accredited, three-year program, that matches six residents per year. The Department also offers fellowships in pediatric and procedural dermatology, with a new fellowship in dermatopathology in the planning stages.
The UNC School of Medicine is ranked #5 nationally in NIH funding among public universities. The Department of Dermatology has basic science and clinical research programs with several NIH-funded investigators, with special expertise in autoimmunity, epidermal cell biology, vascular anomalies and skin cancers. The department averages $2.5M in grants and contracts annually. The Department also has a clinical trials unit.
The selected individual will lead a diverse group of faculty, trainees, and staff members and will oversee all aspects of the Department, including clinical practice, education, research, and fiscal management consistent with the strategic planning of the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Hospitals/UNC Health. UNC is a collaborative environment and chairs meet weekly to advance the shared mission of the UNC School of Medicine.
