The Department of Dermatology is equally balanced with experienced, skilled senior members and energetic, creative junior faculty members collaborating on patient care, research, and education.

The University of Iowa is well known nationally for the breadth and depth of its skin health services, with more than half of our doctors listed among America’s Best Doctors in the field of dermatology.

In order to provide the best patient care possible, we staff full-time researchers who work diligently to find cures and prevention for diseases and conditions of the skin. This research advances our scientific knowledge, and in turn, we share this knowledge with our students.

We have outstanding professional training for fellows, residents, and medical students in the latest skills and knowledge of dermatology. All students work in our clinic and laboratories.
