derm

Hello! I'm a graduating senior planning on applying this cycle and have two job offers for my upcoming gap year. One option is to work as a research assistant in my undergraduate school's dermatology department, while the other is a medical assistant position (not certified) at a dermatology...

Hello all, 1) I’m wondering for Canadian residency programs such as derm, ophthalmology, and neurosurg, what are the main things to focus on during medical school in order to match since there is no step 1 usmle etc. Is it mostly CV, elective rotations, and research? For example, derm has under...

Hi everyone! I'm a current M1 interested in derm and now is about the time to look into summer opportunities; however, I've had a hard time finding derm summer research opportunities. The attending at my home program says they don't give projects to M1s, and I don't currently have a mentor that...

Very simple question but I can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to schedule my home dermatology rotation and would like to know how late I can do so based on the possibility of needing a letter from them for my away rotation. Thanks so much!

Hey all, pretty straight forward question that I can't find the answer to. Any advice about Dermatology aways and when to schedule them would be great as well. Thanks so much!

I am interested in possibly applying to some of the more competitive specialities (ophthalmology or dermatology) for residency. I was wondering if the prestige of the medical school I attend has an effect on my chances of matching (assuming I have good step scores).

Is dermatology likely to be a field in which I can be successful over the next 35 years?

I am a preliminary general surgery candidate focused on acquiring a residency position in dermatology. I am an applicant this year through ERAS and may match (I hope so!). However, I have a dearth of dermatology research. Whether I match into a 2019 PGY-2 spot or not, I would like to pursue...

I'm a third year medical student with a Step 1 score of 256, GPA 4.0, and some volunteering. I haven't done any research before because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and didn't think my Step 1 score was going to be competitive enough for Derm. I'm willing to put in time to get research in...

Came across this gem of a web site http://www.advancedskinofoc.com/about/ Dr. Lauber is a board certified Jewish Dermatologist. More importantly, he is a real Medical Doctor, and not an inferiorly educated or inferiorly trained DO or Osteopathic doctor. According to Yelp, his patients love...

I'll be a PGY3 (second year) in July this year. I'm at a very chill, friendly program in New England, but would like to be in NYC (or Philadelphia or New Jersey). I could entertain other locations as well. Reason for swapping is purely for geographic and I'm happy to explain more privately. Derm...

MS3 here. So before you start judging why I am choosing between 2 of the highest paid/most competitive specialties (And I wonder about that myself all the time, too). Here is a little about me: 1) MD/PhD, PhD in bone metabolism. Would love to continue basic science research in some way in the...

So with having to apply to derm as a PGY1, it seems like the options are very limited if you don't end up matching. Does anyone know, can you only scramble into other PGY2 positions that also require a TRI (rads, pm&r, etc)? Or could you scramble, for example, into a PGY2 family medicine position?

Due to illness in the family, I'm looking to swap to a dermatology program on the west coast preferably, but I'm also open to the southwest area or Texas. Currently a PGY-3 derm resident at a well-known, highly respected program in the Midwest, few hours from Chicago. Please PM me if you're...

When I was a med student, I wasted my time at other departments doing away rotations. I didn't know that some programs are notoriously nepotistic or just don't interview their rotators. A major point of doing an away rotation is to increase your odds of getting an interview and matching, after...

I'm a OMS-III wanting to go into derm. scores are 247/702, rank- 15, and currently doing derm related research that should be published. anyone have any advice on whether it would even be possible to get an MD residency? or will I have much better odds going DO?
