We are proud to offer high-quality training experiences for medical students. In addition to coursework and clerkships, we offer limited preceptorships with faculty and clinical faculty around the Seattle area for first and second year Medical Students. Our Medical Students have the opportunity to experience "real world" patient encounters at one of our clinic locations.

diversity 

In the Department of Dermatology Medical Student Programs, we value and honor diversity and believe it is integral to providing excellent patient care and an optimal environment to learn. We are committed to increasing opportunity and promoting diversity through recruitment and advancement of diverse trainees. We strive to cultivate a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for all. For more information, please see the Department of Dermatology Culture of Inclusion Agreement.

DERMatology ADVISING

UW medical students of all years interested in pursuing Dermatology as a specialty are highly encouraged to reach out Dr. Jay Vary as soon as possible for derm-specific advising. Early interaction with a derm advisor helps students become familiar with the expectations for residency applications and enables faculty to get to know student's interests and personality which inform potential collaborations and eventual recommendations.
