For Program Directors

In order to be recognized by the American College of Mohs Surgery and fellows-in-training be eligible for membership with the ACMS, U.S.-based Micrographic Surgery & Dermatologic Oncology (Mohs) fellowship programs must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

Prospective and current ACGME-accredited MSDO fellowship programs may find ACGME resources on the ACGME Dermatology site.

The American College of Mohs Surgery approves international Micrographic Surgery & Dermatologic Oncology (Mohs) fellowships outside of the United States.
