So I started this thread on pre-allo board, but I was curious what hard core derm people thought about this issue

P.S. Please don't delete/move thread!:scared:


Hello everyone,

I am currently applying to med school and have an interest in derm. I have a good idea of how insanely competitive it is to match into derm. I was just looking over Einstein's match list and was shocked! From 2002-2007, they've had like 10 people match into derm, that's out of class of ~190, 😱, when UCLA matched 11 people this year alone!

They seem to match well into other competitive specialties, like gas, rads, ortho, etc. Why such a disaster when it comes to derm? I really can't believe that since 2002 they've had so very few students interested in derm?

Any thoughts?
