The Department of Dermatology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine strives to improve skin health in all patients; educate patients, students and residents about skin disease; and to improve skin health through research. As the region's leading dermatology department, we provide top-notch training for future practitioners of dermatology and a productive setting for basic and applied research on diseases of the skin.
Our department is growing under the leadership of Dr. Lindsay Strowd, who currently serves as Chair. Our residency program is led by Dr. Maria Mariencheck, who has served as program director since 2020. Our ACGME-accredited fellowships include dermatopathology under Dr. Omar Sangueza, and Wake Forest also offers formal pre-clerkship training in dermatology and a fourth-year elective rotation led by Dr. Zeynep Akkurt.
