Abstract
- Background: Currently, dermatology residency training requires minimal experience in cosmetic procedures which can be achieved through observation. Objective: To assess education in and expectations for cosmetic procedures during dermatology residency. Materials and Methods: A 20-question survey was electronically distributed to 138 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited dermatology residency training programs. Results: One hundred fifty surveys were returned. While 74 percent of the responding residents reported plans to integrate cosmetic procedures into their future practice, only 36 percent felt adequately trained. Forty-eight percent of residents received one or less didactic lectures annually. Over 95 percent of residents felt that a more formal curriculum in cosmetic procedures would benefit residency education. Conclusion: There appears to be insufficient didactic and clinical training in cosmetic procedures during dermatology residency to meet resident expectations and future practice habits.
