Special Features

Our medicine-dermatology residency program was established in 2009 between the Harvard Combined Dermatology Residency Training Program and the Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital. We are proud to have eight Med-Derm trained faculty members and many dermatology trained faculty experts in complex medical dermatology as teachers and mentors for our Med-Derm residents. To date, we have graduated 21 residents from our program.
