Description

General information:
Dermatology is a medical specialty focusing, in the broadest sense, on the diagnostics and therapy of skin related diseases and disorders. It is a dynamic and challenging discipline, in which patients from all age categories are seen.

Patients can have acute or chronic dermatoses. Students with an interest in the clinical and surgical aspect of the medical field can participate in several projects. The department has a few areas of expertise including: I) Blistering diseases, II) Eczema, III) Oncology / Surgery and IV) Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
At the website of the dermatology department you can read the experiences of some of our researchers. Within the department there is a broad interest in contributing towards education, training and scientific research. On the career website you can find vacancies for running research projects.

Co-schappen
The clinical rotation (coschap) for dermatology takes place in M1 and has a duration of 5 weeks. The clinical rotation is part of the juco-schap Geneeskunde (contact person is dr. Schuttelaar: m.l.a.schuttelaar@umcg.nl).

Semi-arts internship (M3)
The internship consists of: I) Main internship (14 weeks), deepening internship (6 weeks) in combination with the research internship (wetenschappelijke stage) (20 weeks). The deepening internship can take place at the department of pathology, plastic surgery, rheumatology, allergology (contact person is dr. Oldhoff: j.m.oldhoff@umcg.nl).

Wetenschappelijke stages/Research internship
There are always opportunities to do research at the different areas of expertise of the department, such as: blistering diseases (contact person dr. Bolling: m.c.bolling@umcg.nl), Eczema (contact person dr. Schuttelaar: m.l.a.schuttelaar@umcg.nl), Oncology / Surgery (contact person dr. Rácz: e.rácz@umcg.nl and dr. Kester, m.s.van.kester@umcg.nl) and Hidradenitis Suppurativa (contact person dr. Horvath: b.horvath@umcg.nl). These research projects are very appropriate for the research internship. It is also possible to already do some research earlier in your education / training. You can find the ongoing projects at the “Internships- and research positions” part of the website.
