DERMATOLOGY ERVICE The Dermatology Department is headed by a diplomate, American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology and Fellow American College of Physicians. An assistant, also a diplo- mate, American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology, completes the officer medical staff. At the present time four medical officers are undergoing residency type training at this institution. Seven hospital corpsmen and a nurse corps officer assist in the operation of the dermatology ward and clinic. Two of the enlisted hospital corpsmen are certified dermatology technicians. In addition the residents and staff are assisted by regular visits of six well-known civilian dermatologists. Three of the six attending staff are members of the staff of the Uni- versity of Southern California. The Dermatology Department provides the personnel and facilities necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of all types of dermatological diseases and conditions for the active and retired members of the military services and their dependents. The Department also provides the resident medical offi- cers with the supervised teaching and training and the clinical and laboratory experience necessary to develop the highest type of dermatologist and to enable them to meet the requirements for certification by the American Board of Dermatology and Syphilology. Further, it provides for the teaching and training of in- terns and other members of the hospital staff. Facilities available include a 31 bed ward with facilities for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of all types of dermatologic cases of active or retired enlisted personnel. Separate facilities are also available for the hospitalization of pediatric, female and officer personnel. CAPTAIN WILLIAM N. NEW, MC, USN ' Chief, Dermatology Service Also included are six fully equipped examining rooms for the examination, diagnosis and treatment of outpatient per- sonnelg one large and six wall-type electro-surgical units with attachments for various types of electro-surgical pro- ceduresg an operating room with equipment for the per- formance of all types of dermatological surgical procedures, including dermabrasiong a dermatologic laboratory with equipment and facilities for all indicated mycologic, bacteri- ologic or parasitic examinations and culturesg an X-ray room with dermatologic therapy apparatus for indicated super- ficial X-ray irradiation proceduresg an ultra-violet ray ther- apy room with apparatus of the hot and cold quartz types and Wood's lights for all types of ultra-violet irradiation procedures, and a medical camera and photographic equip- ment for dermatologic color photography and a file of over 3,000 35mm. color photographs of representative derma- tological entities. STATISTICS FOR THE YEAR 1957 show that clinic patient visits totalled I4-,117, and treatments and surgical procedures totalled 8,7-12. By any standards this is a modern, well-equipped service and will compare favorably with any similar department any- where, military or civilian.
