Welcome! Since our inception over 50 years ago, our Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery has become one of the most respected and dynamic programs in the country. We take great pride in filling our educational, research, clinical, and community service missions with excellence. Education - We have 17 faculty members, 22 residents, and 8 fellows and post doctorates. Our faculty is productive and prolific and has published numerous textbooks and peer-reviewed articles. Our residency program is the largest in the country and provides incredible training to the dermatologists-of-tomorrow. Research - We perform and participate in cutting-edge research in skin cancer, skin infections, and wound healing and receive significant NIH, industry, and benefactor support of our research efforts. Clinical Care - Our physicians are recognized by their peers and patients as leaders in their field- nearly all of the South Florida dermatologists listed in Best Doctors in America are current or former faculty, voluntary faculty, or former residents. Our doctors treat skin conditions from A-Z (acne-zoster) at 7 locations for over 60,000 patients from an ethnically and socio-economically diverse group each year. Community Service - We pride ourselves in being good community partners and using our expertise to help those in need. Our community service ranges from local efforts such as skin cancer screenings and a Melanoma Awareness 5K to international efforts in countries as varied as Haiti, Peru, and India.Whether you are a patient looking for information, a prospective resident or fellow, a physician looking for a dermatopathologist, a researcher in search of collaboration, a company in search of research opportunities, a community doctor interested in joining our voluntary faculty, or simply interested in the department's incredible history and leadership, we hope this site will prove useful for you. We welcome your feedback. Thank you for visiting us! Sincerely,
Lawrence Schachner, M.D. |
