Background: Dermatology stands out among the medical specialties for its pioneering role in the discovery and characterization of skin conditions, making the understanding of the conjuncture of scientific production in the specialty prominent. Objective: the study aimed to analyze the profile of scientific publications of the Dermatology Service of Santa Casa of Porto Alegre / Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre. Method: this cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted from the analysis of publications of the Dermatology Service, from January 2019 to December 2020. Results: from the data collection, 54 publications were identified in the analyzed period, consisting of 81.5% (n = 44) of articles and 18.5% (n = 10) of book chapters. Most articles were 'case reports' (56.8%; n = 25). About 46.3% of the publications had the participation of residents and/or trainees, mainly in the 3rd year of the programs. Conclusion: the analysis of scientific publications revealed a predominance of articles in journals, mainly in national vehicles, with a significant participation of students. The scientific development of Dermatology presupposes the valorization of research activities within the scope of specialization and residency programs, with the potential to contribute to the improvement of health services and academic productivity.
