Are you in a Dermatology Residency program?

Enrolled in a Post-Residency Fellowship?

If you answered yes to either one, you're at the right place! 

The Academy is committed to providing dermatologists in residency or in a post-residency fellowship with the tools necessary for success in practice.

The biggest way we show this commitment is offering FREE Graduate Membership to anyone enrolled in a US or Canadian accredited residency program or doctors in a post-residency fellowship. This membership includes:

  • A FREE subscription to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
  • A FREE subscription to Dermatology World
  • A FREE subscription to Directions in Residency newsletter
  • Special pricing on attending the Annual Meeting and the Summer Academy Meeting
  • Programs at the Annual Meeting on practice management geared specifically for residents
  • Complimentary educational products available through outside sponsorship
  • And much more!

Here you'll find information on grants and awards, (new and bigger) details on available Fellowship programs, as well information on our Coding Basics Seminar. Residents may also use our Boards' Fodder, a study resource for dermatologists looking to take the ABD exam for the first time. We have a collection of topics that will give assistance on preparing for the exam.
