The Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology at New York University is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in dermatology. The Department has the following fourfold mission:

Patient Care
To deliver the highest quality of care to patients with skin disorders. This entails the application of the newest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases in an atmosphere of compassion and respect.

Education
To train medical students, dermatology residents, graduate dermatologists, and other physicians to render the highest quality of patient care and extend both the clinical and basic science boundaries of medicine.

Research
To advance the frontiers of knowledge concerning the mechanisms and treatment of skin diseases, to apply the most modern scientific tools to skin-related research questions and to observe from our patients clues to a better understanding of disease.

Public Health
To study our patients' behaviors and identify risk factors that might contribute to skin diseases and to communicate this information to the public by means of publication in lay journals, lectures in community settings, and dermatologic health-care screenings.
