Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dermatologic surgery is an integral part of dermatology residency training. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the current level of surgical training in dermatology residency programs. METHODS: A survey was mailed to the 112 dermatology residency programs in North America and Puerto Rico. RESULTS: A total of 71 residency programs (63%) responded. All programs offer training in surgical excisions, 97% of programs train residents in at least one cosmetic procedure, 92% of programs offer Mohs micrographic surgery, and 90% of programs train their residents in laser surgery. CONCLUSION: Surgical training in dermatology residency varies widely, with a trend toward more cosmetic procedures when compared with prior studies.

[In memory of our Jewish colleagues who were murdered or committed suicide during the National Socialist Era].

With this article, we commemorate our Jewish colleagues who were murdered or committed suicide during the National Socialist Era in 1933-1945. Additionally, this article should provide an impulse to create a worthy memorial place. We thereby propose to put up commemorative plaques, e.g. in front of the administrative office of the German Dermatologic Society. Fifty-six Jewish dermatologists were killed in concentration camps in the National Socialist Era; 23 died in Theresienstadt, 19 in Auschwitz, and 14 in other concentration or extermination camps. Thirteen Jewish dermatologists committed suicide.
