Dermatology House Staff Life
Nashville features talented musicians (not just country music!), great food, kid-friendly neighborhoods, and beautiful parks. Vanderbilt Dermatology is a close-knit community, and we love to get together during our free time and explore Nashville. We grab dinner, visit the Frist Art Museum, walk around our neighborhoods, or venture to Broadway for a night out on the town!
As a Vanderbilt dermatology house staff member, you are employed by Vanderbilt University Medical Center. House staff salary and benefits can be found on the GME website.
