As one of the country’s highest-volume referral centers for Mohs micrographic, dermatologic, and reconstructive surgery located in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex, our training provides fellows experience in a broad range of pathology in a diverse population base with a focus on hands-on learning.
The mission of the BUMC MSDO fellowship is to train fellows to the highest standards in Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology. We aim to mentor ethically responsible fellows in developing a lifelong professional commitment to advance our specialty and serve the patient needs through academic productivity, leadership development, and patient care. This is a one-year ACGME-accredited and American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS)-accredited fellowship with a focus on cutaneous surgical oncology and reconstruction.
The BUMC MSDO fellowship is a rigorous educational yearlong experience. Fellows who display ethical principles, diligent work ethic, a habit of independent study, and contribute enthusiastically to the dermatologic surgery team will graduate with the skills to practice dermatologic surgery independently to the highest standard.
