Larkin Community Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Larkin Community Hospital's Dermatology residency operates within a large, community-based, statutory teaching hospital system in South Miami that sponsors over 20 ACGME programs across multiple Florida campuses, giving trainees exposure to a broad institutional infrastructure rather than a single-specialty academic identity. The program sits inside a system-wide Department of Research and Academic Affairs that mandates structured scholarly activity - research liaisons, a Resident Research Training Lab, IRB support, and expectations of manuscripts, posters, and conference presentations - indicating research is institutionally embedded rather than optional. The presence of a co-located Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology fellowship (including a separate "Goodman" dermatology and Mohs track) signals a pipeline toward procedural subspecialization within the same institution. Larkin's identity is that of a high-volume, multi-specialty community teaching system that values structured scholarly output, institutional citizenship, and readiness to engage across its broad clinical and research apparatus rather than deep single-site immersion.
