The Dermatology Department at the University of Massachusetts is currently recruiting BC/BE General Dermatologists to meet the needs of our expanding program within the UMass Memorial Health Medical System.

Our academic clinical practice provides care to the local community and additionally serves as a safety net as well as a tertiary referral center for the diverse communities of central Massachusetts. Our physicians see the full spectrum of dermatologic skin conditions, including patients with complex dermatologic diseases referred by both community and other UMass physicians. In addition to practicing clinical dermatology, our faculty actively participate in resident and medical student education, lecture at local, national, and international conferences, have opportunities to participate in clinical research, and take on leadership roles. Those who apply should have a strong desire to advance both their career and the department's reputation as world leaders in dermatology.

The candidate will be joining a close-knit, dynamic faculty of 22 physicians with diverse expertise, including Mohs surgery, pediatric dermatology, cutaneous lymphoma, connective tissue disease, inflammatory diseases, and much more. The department also includes 7 advanced practice providers. Our ACGME-accredited residency program has 12 physician trainees, and these outstanding residents participate in most faculty clinics. We pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence in all mission areas, including patient care, education, and research, along with a longstanding dedication to community engagement and volunteerism.
