student projects and projects for MDs, as part of their spe-
cialization in dermatology-venereology. At present there are
2 students studying for PhDs at the clinic (an MD working on
hand eczema and risk factors/prognosis; and an MD working
with transport proteins in basal cell carcinoma). Student
projects often involve compiling already collected, but not
yet analysed, data. Table I summarizes the types of projects
and methodology used since 2010. We have chosen to make
dermatology-venereology one research group, with a focus
on the areas mentioned previously. There has been a steady,
although slow, flow of publications in peer-reviewed journals
from this research group (Fig. 2).

and cons of academic dermatology in
Ö rebro
Pros
• High level of activity and involvement in the medical
programme.
• An interest in research and education at the dermatology
department.
• Close collaboration and contacts with other disciplines at
the School of Medical Sciences, e.g. about methodological
aspects.
• Facilities for most type of project available.
• Several small local funds for smaller and basic projects
available.
Cons
• Few dermatological colleagues with higher academic de-
grees (none at present).
• No co-workers at the department other than dermatologists
with master or PhD degrees in dermatology.
• A high (and increasing) load of clinical work at the der-
matology department, decreasing possibility to allocate
time for research work.
• Difficulty obtaining major funding for research work in
our field of interest.
