The only dermatology rankings in the past were based on National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding and journal citations.
To determine the highest ranking academic dermatology programs based on 5 outcome measures and on an overall ranking scale. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to rank the dermatology programs on 4 of the following outcome measures of academic achievement and with an overall ranking.
We collected extensive 2001 to 2004 data ranging from total publications to grant funding on 107 U.S. dermatology programs and their full-time faculty. Data from part-time and volunteer faculty were not used.
Publications in 2001 to 2004; NIH funding in 2004; Dermatology Foundation grants in 2001 to 2004; faculty lectures in 2004 delivered at national conferences; number of full-time faculty members who were on the editorial boards of the top 3 U.S. dermatology journals and the top 4 subspecialty journals
We used the 5 outcome measures to tabulate the highest ranking programs in each category. Using a weighted ranking system, we also tabulated the overall top 30 dermatology programs based on these 5 outcome measures.
We were not able to determine the total amount of NIH funding in dollars of the dermatology divisions. The impact factors of the journal in which these publications appeared was not factored into our calculations. Since faculty members may collaborate on the same publication, some publications may have been double-counted.
In descending order, the 5 highest ranked academic programs are the University of Pennsylvania; University of California, San Francisco; Yale-New Haven Medical Center; New York University; and University of Michigan. This ranking system may allow residents and faculty to improve the academic achievements at their respective programs.
过去唯一的皮肤病学排名是基于美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的资金和期刊引用情况。
根据5项成果指标和总体排名量表确定排名最高的学术性皮肤病学项目。据我们所知，这是第一份基于以下学术成就的4项成果指标并给出总体排名的皮肤病学项目排名报告。
我们收集了2001年至2004年广泛的数据，涵盖107个美国皮肤病学项目及其全职教员的总出版物数量到资助资金情况。未使用兼职和志愿教员的数据。
2001年至2004年的出版物；2004年的NIH资金；2001年至2004年的皮肤病学基金会资助；2004年在全国会议上发表的教员讲座；担任美国前3大皮肤病学期刊和前4大专科期刊编辑委员会成员的全职教员数量
我们使用这5项成果指标列出了每个类别中排名最高的项目。使用加权排名系统，我们还根据这5项成果指标列出了总体排名前30的皮肤病学项目。
我们无法确定皮肤病学部门NIH资金的美元总额。这些出版物所发表期刊的影响因子未纳入我们的计算。由于教员可能在同一出版物上合作，一些出版物可能被重复计算。
按排名从高到低，排名前5的学术项目依次是宾夕法尼亚大学；加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校；耶鲁 - 纽黑文医疗中心；纽约大学；以及密歇根大学。这个排名系统可能会让住院医师和教员提高各自项目的学术成就。
