How competitive is to match at a dermpath fellowship at ackermans? Why does this fellowship does not appear in FREIDA or acgme? Is it accredited? Thank you...

The Ackerman Academy fellowship, as other posters have said is an ACGME accredited fellowship. It may be "easier" to get a spot than other fellowships, just because there are more positions at that program than others. It is also a fellowship that may give you an opportunity to stay on as part of Dermpath Dx. I've heard rumors about some fellows paying for their spot..but I think these are foreign visiting fellows not under ACGME.
You apply to the fellowship as any other dermpath fellowship (not a match process). Just FYI, the program at Einstein and Path Associates (Port Chester) is also under the realm of Dermpath Dx.

Regardless, a dermpath fellowship is a dermpath fellowship. Getting a spot and being board certified is what private groups are looking for first and foremost.
