Dr. Chima graduated magna cum laude from Boston University’s exclusive accelerated seven-year BA/MD program and received her medical degree from UMDNJ-Newark. Following her internship at Philadelphia’s Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, she completed her dermatology residency in Washington, DC, where she achieved the distinction of chief resident. During her residency, she learned intensive cosmetic and laser procedures on all skin types. To broaden her dermatologic training, she completed a fellowship in dermatopathology at UMDNJ-Newark. This additional training gives her a depth of knowledge with skin disorders that most practicing physicians rarely attain.

Among her colleagues, Dr. Chima is known as the “doctor’s dermatologist” because many physicians only trust their skin to her.
