The General Dermatology Elective takes place in the Dermatology Department at Kaiser Santa Clara, Kaiser San Jose, and Kaiser Milpitas with rotations both in the clinic and hospital setting. The goal is to expose the medical student to the field of Dermatology as practiced within an integrated multispecialty group. Students will have the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member to evaluate patients, perform procedures under direct supervision including Mohs surgery, contact Dermatology, pediatric Dermatology, and complex medical Dermatology and be exposed to a broad spectrum of dermatologic conditions presenting to a community hospital and medical center setting. Medical students will learn how to perform dermatology focused history and physicals, develop a methodical assessment and plan and perform supervised procedures for diagnostic testing and/or treatment of some of these patients.
