Dermatology Residency Positions

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) offers three three-year positions for their Dermatology Residency program per year.

The Dermatology Residency program is a fully ACGME-accredited training opportunity that recruits and graduates three residents a year for our three-year program. All of our positions are filled through the dermatology match.

The Dermatology residency training program at Dartmouth was founded in 1948 and has a proud history of training residents to be competitive in all areas of dermatology upon graduation. Our program has a reputation for producing excellent clinical dermatologists who go on to provide excellent, state-of the art care to their communities. We have attracted applicants from medicals schools that have told us that their mentors recommended us as “a strong clinical training program”. Historically, about half of our residents have gone on to achieve highly competitive fellowships in laser surgery, Mohs surgery, dermatopathology, cutaneous oncology, and pediatric dermatology, and several have assumed roles in highly regarded academic programs.
