Background: As the number of dermatologists offering cosmetic procedures continues to increase, so does the need for hands-on exposure to cosmetic dermatology during residency. A resident cosmetic clinic (RCC) model presents as a mutually beneficial opportunity for trainees to obtain first-hand experience, while patients have access to more affordable pricing.
Objectives: (1) To assess volume and variety of cosmetic dermatological procedures during residency. (2) To compare Loma Linda University (LLU) Dermatology RCC data with national residency program data. (3) To provide guidance for other dermatology residency programs who wish to incorporate cosmetic training into their educational curriculum.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional, retrospective, chart review study, resident training in cosmetic procedures at the LLU RCC was quantified and compared with that of national program averages, minimums, and maximums as reported by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medication Education.
Results: LLU RCC residents performed more nonablative skin rejuvenation, intense pulsed light, and soft tissue augmentation procedures as the resident surgeon compared with other dermatology residents across the nation.
Conclusion: Institutional review highlights an unmet need for greater exposure to and training in a variety of dermatologic cosmetic procedures during residency. Practical considerations for achieving optimal learning experiences were provided through the implementation of a resident cosmetic clinic.
