The Department of Dermatology is committed to training our future physicians. All of our core faculty actively participate in the dermatology education of our medical students through lectures, preceptorships, research and clinical electives starting from the first year of medical school. Nikifor Konstantinov, MD, serves as the director of Undergraduate Medical Education and medical student rotations are coordinated through our department and the VSLO system.
Students interested in UNM’s Dermatology residency program are strongly encouraged to rotate.
Working with Dr. Smidt is a masterclass in efficiency, excellent patient relationships, and how to run a tight-knit office where every member of the team is being used to the best extent of their credentials and ability. I really wish we had more opportunities to observe outpatient physicians in their element the way she clearly is when at Derm clinic.
