Default Navy Dermatology

SDN Members don't see this ad.
I need all the info I can get.

5 spots at Balboa. 2 spots at Bethesda.

I understand you have to do GMO/FS/Dive to even be considered. Even after GMO/FS/Dive, how competitive is it? what do they look for? What about Derm as a 2nd residency after IM or FP (and this question applies to a civilian derm program too)?

Dermatology is reputed to be the most competitive to match of all residencies. More so in the .mil because there are few programs but very competitive in the civilian match, too.

You need everything: high board scores LORs, GMO, research. Even then, no guarantees. Good luck.
