Abstract

Dermatology residents have 3 years to master core competencies related to the delivery of patient care, preservation of medical professionalism, and responsible use of health care; however, it is crucial for residents to recognize other things outside of their formal curriculum that are equally vital to their training. Over the years, we have observed residents and now offer our own perspectives. We have collectively observed five extracurricular aspects commonly overlooked by dermatology residents that are important to their education and future practice. (SKINmed. 2022;20:123-125).
