The successful candidate must be board certified by the American Board of Dermatology or board eligible to sit for the exam and have an excellent record of clinical activity in medical dermatology. The candidate must have graduated from an ACGME-accredited dermatology residency.
We are seeking candidates who are committed to building a long-term career in academic medical dermatology. These positions are intended for individuals pursuing sustained academic engagement at UCLA rather than short-term employment. As such, they are not suitable for candidates seeking temporary medical dermatology appointments prior to pursuing ACGME fellowship training (e.g., Mohs surgery or dermatopathology fellowship).

These are the standards to which we hold ourselves, and one another. Please read more about this important DGSOM program at Cultural North Star.
