Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, the future site of a new dermatology residency program in the next few years, is seeking applicants past the 3rd year of medical school who are able to spend 12 months working full-time on projects related to "academic dermatology" onsite in Los Angeles. No internship, clinical trials experience, or California state medical license is required (which are required for over 95% of clinical research fellowships).
The project will be based on the paper below marked with **. The data for this original study also produced 4 smaller studies and 4 commentaries:
**Wu JJ, Ramirez CC, Alonso CA, Mendoza N, Berman B, Tyring SK. Dermatology residency program characteristics that correlate with graduates selecting an academic dermatology career. Archives of Dermatology, July 2006;142(7):845-850. PMID: 16847199. (one of the most read and sent articles in 2006-2008 per Archives of Dermatology)
*Wu JJ, Ramirez CC, Alonso CA, Berman B, Tyring SK. Ranking the dermatology programs based on measurements of academic achievement. Dermatology Online Journal, July 2007;13(3):3. PMID: 18328197. http://dermatology.cdlib.org/133/original/academy/wu.html (first ever national rankings of dermatology programs) (#3 on Top 10 Dermatology Journal Articles of 2007 for Medscape)

The data also produced 6 published poster abstracts and 1 poster. The new project will be based on 2008 data that needs to be collected and analyzed. The potential papers and posters following this new primary paper would certainly help any residency application.
The Principal Investigator is Jashin (Jay) Wu, MD, who is the Founding Director of Clinical Research at Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center. He will eventually become the Residency Director as well. He has over 100 book chapters and Pubmed journal articles published, in press, or submitted.
Dr. Wu's research grant requested for salary and benefits with a total value up to $48500 for the fellow. The funding will be decided within Kaiser Permanente by mid-May 2009.
Those who are interested should email a letter of interest, CV, and USMLE scores. Please have ready 3 letters of recommendation, preferably from dermatologists, if asked. Please no personal statements about dermatology residency. Only U.S. allopathic (M.D.) medical students and U.S. allopathic medical school graduates will be considered. Only those who can commit to full-time work over 12 months starting in July 2009 will be considered. Dr. Wu will select the fellow by mid-May 2009.
Please, no inquiries about the new residency program, as no official details are available yet.
