I'm sure you'll be asked this through PMs but for those who are browsing through:

How have your 3 currrent fellows done in the match? As you're advertising well before rank lists being turned in, did they end up getting out-of-match dermatology residency spots?

Of the 5 fellows that we had last year, 4 matched through the regular residency match and 1 received an outside the match position. Of the 3 fellows this year, 1 matched last year (beginning dermatology residency July 1, 2012) and chose to stay on for a second year. The other 2 fellows are currently in the match and completing the interview process.

Update: One of our fellows was just taken outside the match. So now, of 3 fellows, only 1 is currently unmatched and going through the match process.

All fellows are now matched. We will be looking for 2-3 research fellows to replace our 3 previous research fellows for July 1, 2012! Please contact 713-528-8818 and ask for Wendy Fong
