Applicants need to have demonstrated outstanding clinical practice delivering high quality, value-based, team-based outpatient care, as well as a high level of communication, collaboration and professionalism. Collaboration with other care providers is an essential component of this position. Examples include working with rheumatology faculty, fellows and internal medicine residents. In that there will on occasion be medical students, residents and fellows from our various Internal Medicine residency and fellowship programs rotating through our clinics or in need of dermatology didactic lectures, there will also be a small component of undergraduate and graduate medical education instruction.

Mohs Dermatologist:

This position is for a procedural Mohs dermatologist to complement the expertise of our current dermatologists and practice in a state-of-the-art Mohs surgery facility. Applicants need to have demonstrated outstanding clinical practice delivering high quality, value-based, team-based outpatient care, as well as a high level of communication, collaboration and professionalism.

The success of the university faculty practice, UCF Health, has led to continuing growth and expansion that includes modern state-of-the-art dermatology clinic facilities, and expansion of multiple specialties across our academic departments and participating hospitals. Candidates with experience in and willingness to help further develop our evolving dermatology service are preferred.

These are primarily UCF Health clinical positions and there may also be opportunities available to: collaborate with other dermatologists at nearby partner institutions (e.g., at the VA Medical Center, the Nemours Children's Hospital and the UCF Lake Nona Medical Center); pursue interprofessional education with other members of our multi-disciplinary Academic Health Sciences Center; conduct clinical or translational research with the support of our extensive human research team; to pursue educational scholarship in collaboration with other COM faculty members; and to serve as a formal medical student advisor or mentor. As is the case for all faculty, the chosen applicants will also be expected to provide service to the educational programs and other missions of the college and university.
