Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology Fellowship
Goodman Dermatology P.C. is very excited to announce that as of July 1st, 2022, we are officially ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) accredited to offer and train the next generation of Mohs surgeons across the country.
We are proud to offer a new 1-year medical education fellowship in Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology to any board-certified dermatologist. Our program is only 1 of 3 ACGME accredited Mohs fellowships in Georgia, and the only program in Georgia to be approved for 2 Mohs fellowship positions each academic cycle.
To prospective Mohs surgeons, we want only the best, most passionate and patient centered physicians to join us. Goodman Dermatology is one of the only private practice dermatology programs in the country, establishing its own ACGME accredited dermatology residency program in 2013 and achieving the highest accreditation in 2018. With our first inaugural 2022 Mohs fellowship class starting, the practice is elevating the opportunities and exposure available to the next generation of dermatologists and Mohs surgeons interested in training at Goodman Dermatology P.C. With this unique opportunity available, we are both a private practice with corporate ties to our parent company, Aqua Dermatology group. Thus, working in a private practice setting, our Mohs surgeons get one-of-a-kind, hands-on training and experience in private practice management, while still having strong foundations in educational and research support with ties to our sponsoring institution, PCOM (Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine).
We additionally are excited that we recently opened a new state-of-the-art Mohs Surgical Suite at our 2500 Hospital Boulevard Roswell Georgia location dedicated to meet all the surgical needs of our community. The new facility also provides the foundation training and mentorship to our rotating Mohs fellows, residents, and students from all over the country.
We can’t wait for our patients to experience these new and exciting additions to Goodman Dermatology P.C. as we continue to grow, improve, and deliver the very best of care to our patients.
We look forward to all prospective Mohs fellow candidates interested in joining our team of practitioners in serving the greater Atlanta area!
Mohs Fellowship
At Goodman Dermatology, our Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology (MSDO) Fellowship is a one-year fellowship program, accepting 2 fellows per year, who must have successfully completed a dermatology residency program prior to starting the fellowship. The program affords the fellow the opportunity to work with 2 fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons and to interact with medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, plastic surgery, and oculoplastic surgery. ACGME programs are recognized by the ACMS (American College of Mohs Surgery), and fellowships accredited by these organizations safeguard the standards of Micrographic Surgery & Dermatologic Oncology by ensuring that fellows-in-training are properly trained and acquire the necessary expertise to perform the Mohs procedure. Our accredited program follows a structured curriculum that includes graded responsibility, operative and non-operative education, and exposure to long-term results, recurrences, and complications in both a private practice and hospital settings.
Participating Training Sites:
Goodman Dermatology P.C. has (8) locations in Roswell, Woodstock, Canton, Marietta (East Cobb), Buford/Sugar Hill, Cumming, Smyrna/Vinings, and Dawsonville and Mohs trained fellows have the ability to train in Roswell in our new surgical suite and tailor their interests within the program. In addition to the unique private practice exposure, the training curriculum offers dermatopathology, radiation/oncology and plastic surgery rotations within the greater Atlanta area.
