Abstract
Building a successful culture in academic dermatology is necessary now more than ever,
which is compounded by the shortage of dermatologists, especially academicians. This
dearth of academic dermatologists raises questions concerning who will train future
generations of physicians and who will drive innovative research to advance the field
and improve patient care. Recruitment and retention of dermatologists in academia
faces steep challenges posed by increasing demands within academic medicine and the
draw of the private sector. It is important to address barriers to a career in academia.
Efforts should be focused on modifiable aspects of dermatology residency experiences
to promote a career in academic dermatology. Of equal importance is the retention
of faculty already in academia because midcareer shifts from academic settings to
private practice can result in a significant leadership gap.
