The American College of Mohs Surgery currently recognizes more than 70 training centers throughout the country where qualified applicants receive comprehensive training in Mohs Micrographic Surgery. Our approved training centers are Mohs surgery practices and clinics where the selected fellow works intimately on a day-to-day basis with a veteran Mohs College surgeon (Training Program Director).

Fellows are selected via The Mohs Micrographic Surgery Fellowship Match, administered by San Francisco Match, a matching service that has coordinated the processing, distribution and review of applicants for post graduate medical education training programs since 1977. The service currently administers applicant review and ranking processes for positions in four residency and 18 fellowship training programs.

Once selected and paired with a veteran Mohs College surgeon (Training Program Director), the fellow must complete a minimum training period of one year during which the dermatologist trainee must complete a minimum of 500 cases on a multitude of different skin cancer cases.

Upon completion of the fellowship, most new Mohs College trained surgeons choose to become part of an established practice; many start their own. Some College members with 20 or more years of Mohs surgery experience elect to serve the College as Training Program Directors, those surgeons who mentor and guide the Mohs fellows through their additional training, thereby passing the skills and knowledge from one generation to the next.
