By acquiring a vast body of knowledge and developing advanced skills in the assessment, treatment, and cosmetic enhancement of disfiguring skin diseases and rejuvenation of aging skin, the clinical fellow should function as an expert consultant by the end of the fellowship program.
The fellow will develop skills communicating treatment options and plans, risks and benefits of treatment, and realistic expected outcomes.
Collaboration with other healthcare team members such as residents, physicians (e.g., dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists) and technicians/assistants will be stressed to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Development of critical appraisal skills of the medical literature in the field of laser and cosmetic dermatology is expected. Furthermore, the fellow will contribute to the advancement of science through research and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
It is expected that the fellow will contribute to the education of peers and other medical professionals through lectures and educational sessions with students/residents and as a presenter/speaker at scientific medical meetings.
