MSUCOM/Lakeland Regional Medical Center Application for Dermatology Residency Program Program Mission The mission of the MSUCOM/Lakeland Regional Medical Center Osteopathic Dermatology Residency Program is to provide each trainee with a comprehensive, structured education in the field of dermatology to enable each individual to become a thoroughly competent, compassionate, and professional osteopathic dermatologist. The program curriculum is tailored to allow for optimal progression and successful achievement of all core competencies as established by the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology (AOCD) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA) at the end of a three-year training period, and to provide trainees with the best opportunity for satisfactory completion of the board-certification examination as set forth by the American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology (AOBD). Emphasis will be placed on integrating core osteopathic philosophies and principles (OPP) into clinical practice throughout the training period. During this time, residents will be exposed to the entire spectrum of dermatologic disease manifestations. They will be given increased autonomy and responsibility as deemed appropriate by the staff physicians over the course of their training to better prepare for the independent patient management seen in practice. While in training, residents will be continuously supervised and evaluated by faculty to ensure satisfactory development of knowledge base and skill level. Program Description I. Facilities Description Lakeland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph, MI will serve as the base hospital for the Dermatology Residency Program. This facility is one of the largest hospitals in Southwestern Michigan and provides a multitude of clinical services. This hospital currently has four (4) AOA approved programs, which include Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine. The facility has an affiliation agreement with Michigan State University Statewide Campus System (MSU-SCS) OPTI. This OPTI supports this new residency program and will oversee its progress. Mark Smalley, D.O., is the current Director of Medical Education for this institution and has agreed to serve in this position for the dermatology residency program. Mark Kuriata, D.O., is on staff as a clinical dermatologist who maintains hospital privileges, and will serve as the Program Director. Residents will be exposed to three (3) primary sites during the course of their training under the guidance of board-certified physicians:

1) Advanced Dermatology is a thriving dermatologic practice located in the heart of St Joseph, MI. This 6200 square foot facility has 13 examination rooms including 3 surgical suites, resident’s library, and a CLIA-certified

pathology lab. This office typically treats greater than 100 patients daily and 4-6 Mohs micrographic surgery cases weekly. This location will serve as the primary training site for residents and is the largest dermatologic practice in the entire Southwestern Michigan area. Currently, this practice maintains over 100,000 active patients.

2) Advanced Dermatology has a second satellite location that has recently opened in Niles, MI. This facility has 3 examination rooms and treats approximately 30-40 patients once weekly, with the ability to expand as patient demand increases.

3) The Lakeland Healthcare system is composed of three acute care hospitals throughout Southwestern Michigan and is one of the largest healthcare providers in the area. Lakeland Regional Medical Center is a 339-bed hospital located in St, Joseph, MI and serves as the largest of these sites. These facilities are within close proximity to Advanced Dermatology and will allow residents to perform inpatient consultations under the direct supervision of medical staff and actively participate in didactic lectures.

These facilities have established affiliation agreements with physicians to provide the following rotations/instruction: Pediatric Dermatology and Dermatopathology. II. Dermatology Residency Program Goals and Objectives
