Dermatology
The Division of Dermatology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center seeks to care for our patients the way we want our family members to be treated: with kindness, compassion, and clinical expertise.
The Harbor-UCLA Residency Training Program strives to prepare our residents to become leaders in their field by providing a strong and multifaceted foundation in medical dermatology, dermatopathology, procedural dermatology, and research. The Harbor-UCLA Dermatology Residency Training Program is proud to be part of the premier medical facility at Los Angeles County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Our program provides outstanding opportunities for hands-on exposure, with faculty supervision and didactic teaching where we are constantly challenged by a wealth of pathology. Our focus on caring for the underserved, clinical decision-making and continuity of care fosters a rich training environment for the development of outstanding clinicians with excellent skills and strong confidence.
The team environment among our faculty and residents provides a camaraderie to support a productive work environment within the Division of Dermatology. We strive to promote inclusion of underrepresented groups in the field of medicine, so that we better reflect our patient demographics (Latino 55%, African-American 20%, Caucasian 18%, other 7%). Residents and faculty volunteer at local elementary schools and health fairs; introducing young students to careers in medicine. We are further enriched by our dedicated volunteer faculty who are a testament to the culture and community of our program—with satisfaction from not just teaching, but teaching at Harbor.
