Red Horizontal Rule




The University of Utah's Department of Dermatology is committed to:

  • Providing skin care throughout life.
  • Increasing access to health care through different clinic locations and telemedicine.
  • Pioneering cutting-edge research in the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease.
    The Department of Dermatology has been serving Utah's patient population since 1972 when it was first founded with the status of a "division" under the umbrella of Internal Medicine. It began with one physician, Dr. Gerald Krueger, who served as Division Chief until 1987 when Dr. John Zone assumed the position. In 1996, Dermatology at the University of Utah achieved Departmental status.

    Today, with twenty-seven faculty, the Department has become the largest clinical, research, and educational facility of Dermatology in the Intermountain West.
