The mission of the University of Washington, Division of Dermatology, is to advance dermatology with integrity, compassion & innovation. There is a long legacy of dermatologic research in the Division, and this tradition continues with many active lines of inquiry now.
The UW Division of Dermatology encourages research involvement from trainees who are interested in contributing to dermatologic research and careers in academic dermatology. Trainees participating in UW Dermatology research will regularly interact with faculty researchers and dermatologists, and receive mentorship focused on the development of research skills and career development.
