UC Irvine’s Dermatology Unit Regains Top Status
UC Irvine’s dermatology department has regained unblemished status for its graduate training program, officials said. The residency program had been on probation since 2004 with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
“We’ve worked hard to overcome the issues that have bedeviled the department,” said Dr. Christopher B. Zachary, who took over as department chairman last summer, filling a post that had been vacant four years. Among other changes, Zachary put Dr. Kristen Kelly, daughter of medical school dean Dr. Thomas Cesario, in charge of the residency program.
