Our 5-year resident training program in Dermatology has full accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Funding for residents comes from provincial governments (B.C. and Manitoba) and non-profit hospital foundations. All of our residents present their research at local, national, and international meetings. Several of our past residents have received awards from the American Contact Dermatitis Society, the Women’s Dermatology Society, and the Dermatology Times of Canada.

Dr. Brian Kunimoto is the Director of the The Dermatology Residency Program. The full 5-year resident training program in Dermatology is usually entered directly from medical school, but from time to time we have been able to secure funding for re-entry positions. As with many other medical specialties, there is a serious shortage of dermatologists in Canada, and the Department of Dermatology and Skin Science is working closely with the Department of Medicine and the Postgraduate Dean's Office to increase the number of training slots.

The Residency Program also hosts clinical fellows in dermatologic surgery, photomedicine/lasers, hair, and dermatopathology from around the world. In the last several years some of our fellows have come from the US, Saudi Arabia, and China.
