As one of the country’s highest-volume referral centers for Mohs micrographic, dermatologic, and reconstructive surgery located in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex, our training provides fellows experience in a broad range of pathology in a diverse population base with a focus on hands-on learning.

The mission of the BUMC MSDO fellowship is to train fellows to the highest standards in Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology. We aim to mentor ethically responsible fellows in developing a lifelong professional commitment to advance our specialty and serve the patient needs through academic productivity, leadership development, and patient care. This is a one-year ACGME-accredited and American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS)-accredited fellowship with a focus on cutaneous surgical oncology and reconstruction.

The BUMC MSDO fellowship is a rigorous educational yearlong experience. Fellows who display ethical principles, diligent work ethic, a habit of independent study, and contribute enthusiastically to the dermatologic surgery team will graduate with the skills to practice dermatologic surgery independently to the highest standard.

Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC) is a major academic hospital serving DFW and surrounding areas with a variety of residency programs and fellowships and is affiliated with the BUMC Dermatology Residency and the Texas A&M College of Medicine. Our program is one of the busiest and most robust programs in the country.
