Anyone know of a good list of which programs are community vs. which ones are research?

I've always found this to be odd, whereas other specialties seem to have this divide, I'm not so sure I see it in derm?

There are certainly programs that are not as research-heavy as others but all the places I interviewed at were affiliated with a major university. I don't see a lot of pure "community programs" out there.
 
How strong of a research emphasis is there in the combined IM/Derm programs as compared to a typical academic dermatology residency?
