DERMATOLOGY PART II - 2012
IV. RESOURCES
Standard B4
"There must be sufficient resources including teaching faculty, the number and variety of patients, physical and technical resources, as well as the supporting facilities and services necessary to provide the opportunity for all residents in the program to achieve the educational objectives and receive full training as defined by the Royal College specialty training requirements."
Where the resources to provide "full training" are not available at the sponsoring university, several different types of interuniversity affiliations may be negotiated. It should be noted that the exchange of residents between two fully accredited programs does not require an interuniversity affiliation.
1. Teaching Faculty
List by teaching site the members of the teaching faculty who have a major role in this program, including members from other departments. In indicating a subspecialty, use as a criterion whether he or she is considered by colleagues as a subspecialist and functions academically and professionally as one.
Teaching Site / Name / University Rank / Specialty Qualifications / Subspecialty(If any) / Nature of Interaction with Resident (e.g. clinical, teaching, research)
What percentage of faculty listed above have been practising in the specialty/subspecialty:
< 15 years %
> 25 years %
