The Department of Dermatology is dedicated to maintaining exceptional academic programs in which residents, fellows, students, and faculty work closely together, promoting the best possible care of patients while preserving an optimal educational environment.
The department's thirteen academic faculty members combined with dozens of voluntary clinical faculty provide eleven residents with an unmatched, high quality educational and service experience throughout four of the Alpert Medical School-affiliated teaching hospitals.
Residents and medical students are exposed to an array of divisions throughout the department, which include dermatopathology, dermatopharmacology, dermatoepidemiology, and Mohs dermatologic surgery. Fellowships are offered in both dermatoepidemiology and Mohs surgery.
Kuhn is also a member of Brown Dermatology, which was founded in 1997 and currently has clinical services at 10 locations, including Rhode Island Hospital, Miriam Hospital, North Main Street, East Providence, Warwick, Westerly, Warren, Cranston, East Greenwich, and Wakefield.
About Smart Health
The Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University and GoLocalProv.com teamed up in 2019 to launch “Smart Health,” a new GoLocal LIVE segment featuring experts from the medical school focusing on the latest in health and research impacting Rhode Island — and the worldwide community.
Since granting its first Doctor of Medicine degrees in 1975, the Warren Alpert Medical School has become a national leader in medical education and biomedical research. By attracting first-class physicians and researchers to Rhode Island over the past four decades, the Medical School and its seven affiliated teaching hospitals have radically improved the state's health care environment, from health care policy to patient care.
“We’re excited to be able to highlight the work and knowledge of our faculty at the Warren Alpert Medical School,” said Jack. A. Elias, MD, Senior Vice President for Health Affairs and Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences.
“From cancer to malaria to the opioid crisis to aging, our faculty are leading the way in research and development in a number of areas, and are preparing our students to be the next leaders in medicine. We are pleased that we can share that knowledge with GoLocalProv.com’s readers and viewers in a manner that is educational, informative, and timely," said Elias.
