  • Title: Factors affecting the pursuit of academic careers among dermatology residents.
    Author: Aquino LL, Wen G, Wu JJ.
    Journal: Cutis; 2015 Apr; 95(4):231-6. PubMed ID: 25942025.
    Abstract:
    There is a shortage of academic dermatologists in the United States. This study aimed to examine characteristics of US dermatology residency programs that affect the odds of producing academic dermatologists. Data regarding program size, faculty, grants, alumni residency program attended, lectures, and publications for all accredited US dermatology residency programs were collected; these data were correlated with the ratio of graduating full-time faculty members to estimated total number of graduates for each respective program. Results emphasize that the ratio of faculty to residents and the number of full-time faculty publications may represent key factors by which residency programs can increase their graduation of academic dermatologists.
