Clinical & Research Research Dermatology Fellowship

Fellowship involves clinical and/or research activities depending on candidate's interest. Rotations and projects are designed by the mentor. Other fellowship options are available, but these have to be arranged specifically with a faculty member who has to agree to accept the Fellow. The fellowship period usually lasts 1 year, and is primarily a one-to-one mentorship with a faculty member. Applicants interested in clinical rotations must have a valid license to practice Medicine by Texas Medical Board. Foreign Medical Graduates may participate in the fellowhip program, but they may not have any clinical activities. Limited clinical observership is available on case by case after consulting the Medical Board.

The goal is to position the fellow for a future career as an academic or a practicing physician who is interested in making significant contributions to their field of interest.

In previous years, the fellows were from the U.S., France, Chile, and Mexico.

PRESS RELEASE

Remember BURNS and ERUPTS when you look out for skin cancer  .

San Antonio, Texas. Are you interested in learning as how to distinguish between a cancerous and non-canceours skin lesion? Dr. Ghohestani's team at Texas Institute of Dermatology proposes novel mneumonics for early detection of non-melanoma skin cancer namely Basal cell (BCC) and Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). BCC, the most common cancer, together with SCC affecting 1 in 5 Americans. In their early stages, both types of skin cancer are easily treated by an office surgery. If neglected, they can cause local disfigurement, damage to nearby tissues, and, in some cases, metastasize to distant organs and become fatal. Because they are easily taken care of early on, it is important to detect these skin cancers at the very early stage. Both patients and physicians should know what signs to look for so that they can detect BCCs and SCCs when they are most easily treatable. Just as with the ABCD of melanoma, the investigators at Texas Institute of Dermatology propose, in an article published in the European Journal of Dermatology, BURNS and ERUPTS as new mnemonics for early detection of SCC and BCC, respectively. This can help our patients to easily recognize the suspicious features of BCCs and SCCs in order to identify them at the very early stage and get them taken care of before they cause unwanted trouble, said Dr. Reza F Ghohestani, director of Texas Institute of Dermatology.
