Hi all! I'm a pre-med applying to the 2012 cycle, and I'm trying to do as much research as I possibly can on the Dermatology Departments of each school.

Don't worry, I definitely have an open mind as to which field I'm heading into, but I know that dermatology is one of my top picks.

My questions are mostly geared towards the medical students and their experience with their Dermatology Department. They include:

1. Was your program director or chairperson approachable/student-oriented?
2. How about the rest of the faculty and residents?
3. Was there a lot of opportunity for independent research?
4. Can you do an early rotation of derm in your 3rd year?
5. How supportive was the department in your endeavors?
6. etc.

I know I probably sound crazy, but I'm really concerned about the connections I make and trainings I receive during medical school.

Thanks alot! 😀
