Dermatology
The Division of Pediatric Dermatology in the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is one of the largest and best-recognized in the country. Residents in the Department of Dermatology at Feinberg have the opportunity to care for children with a wide variety of skin conditions at the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. The division also runs the very well-regarded fellowship program in Pediatric Dermatology, accepting two fellows and two visiting scholars each year.
I am immensely proud of the division we have developed and of our ability to provide top-notch medical education while also being at the forefront of pediatric dermatology research, scholarly activity and patient advocacy."
