Title:
Open Rank of Dermatology, Pediatrics

Organization:
University of New Mexico, School of Medicine

Job Description:

The University of New Mexico (UNM) School of Medicine Department of Dermatology in Albuquerque seeks a qualified enthusiastic individual for a full-time academic faculty position as a Pediatric Dermatologist.

Due to low numbers of practicing specialists in rural areas, our faculty and trainees see the entire spectrum of clinical dermatology, including but not limited to: general and pediatric dermatology, Mohs surgery/cutaneous oncology, dermatopathology, aesthetics, and complex inpatient/medical dermatology. Our main UNM Hospital clinical site offers phototherapy and lasers, and the Department/training program has a strong partnership with the local VA Medical Center as well. Our Chair is currently the only fellowship-trained pediatric dermatologist in the state, so the opportunities for a (junior) faculty to gain extensive experience quickly and effectively, while being mentored and meaningfully contributing to care for children in this region, is truly extraordinary.

At the UNM Department of Dermatology, we pride ourselves in our excellence and commitment to all mission areas, training residents to practice at their highest level and offering robust clinical exposure, high-quality education/professional development, research opportunities and a longstanding dedication to community engagement and diversity/equity/inclusivity and belonging. The ACGME-accredited residency program is currently allotted 3 residents/year, supervised by approximately 10 faculty, including UNM-based, VAMC and Dermatopathology.

Minimum Requirements:

• Medical Doctor or equivalent
• Board-eligible or certified in Dermatology
• Board-Eligible or certified in Pediatric Dermatology
• On-year fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology
• Eligible for medical licensure in NM
• Eligible for State of New Mexico Board of Pharmacy certification and federal DEA registration
• Must be eligible to work in the U.S.

Additional training and expertise (such as in Dermatopathology, Internal Medicine-Dermatology or Mohs surgery) would also be welcome. Faculty appointment (Assistant/Associate/Professor; Clinician Educator track vs tenure track) and compensation will be commensurate with experience. We welcome your interest in our vibrant program!
