Dermatology Training Across the Globe

Abstract

Dermatology residency program rankings often stem from assessments by practicing physicians or evaluations of scholarly achievements such as grants and publicatons.^1-3 Such rankings, however, are continuously changing, and fail to account for the specific missions of dermatology training programs.² Additionally, a global comparison of dermatology training requirements and a worldwide understanding of the ideal dermatology curriculum remains missing from the literature. Therefore, this study aims to compare and contrast accreditation requirements for dermatology training programs across the world. As a secondary objective, it attempts to identify the different missions of dermatology training programs around the world to create a global vision of what constitutes an ideal dermatology training program.
