ASDS Database Helps Residents Find Fellowships and Opportunities

To help residents with the challenge of identifying suitable fellowship programs, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery's (ASDS) new database, called the DermSurg Fellowship Finder, is a comprehensive source for all Mohs, procedural, cosmetic, and laser surgical fellowships in the US. The goal of the DermSurg Fellowship Finder is to broaden awareness of advanced dermatologic surgery and training opportunities among dermatology residents, thereby elevating the specialty of dermatology within the field of medicine. So far, 53 dermatology fellowship programs are included in the Fellowship Finder, which is organized by geographic area and program type. The database also includes contact information and program descriptions. The Fellowship Finder is the result of a 2010-11 ASDS Future Leaders Network project, an initiative designed to prepare young doctors to be the next generation of leaders in dermatologic surgery.
