Brookdale Hospital Medical Center

During select rotations, first and second year residents spend two half days per week seeing adult and pediatric patients in our busy ambulatory dermatology clinic at Brookdale University Hospital. Residents perform a variety of procedures including biopsies, intralesional injections, tissue cultures, fungal scrapings, cryosurgery, curettage, and electrosurgery. Brookdale provides our residents with an inner city hospital experience and exposure to interesting and unique dermatology cases.

Furthermore, second years residents act as the consult senior seeing inpatient, emergency department, intensive care unit, geriatric, and infectious disease nursing home consults under the close supervision of an attending physician.
