I really appreciate the advice. In the event that I can't schedule a rotation within the next month, what advice can you give in regards to taking a year off? I was considering do a MBA, MPH, or just working part-time in a derm lab. Thanks
I've personally witnessed the following:
1. Taking an extra year of medical school, working in the Dermatology clinics and in a Dermatology research lab. Matched!
2. Doing a year of IM, then doing a year of research fellowship, with the added bonus of being Matched into the following year.
3. Completing an entire IM residency and then Matching into Dermatology.
I like the idea of doing an MPH with a problem in Dermatology as your focus, e.g. Atopic Dermatitis education. There are days where I wish I could round up every single family who has a little dude with this disease and go through the massive options just once, with time for questions of course.
Probably some other things I've seen but currently not recalling because Weedon and Rook are knocking on my door and I am easily distracted by Weedon and Rook. It is tea time with my Australian and British friends!
