What are the options exactly for prelim years for derm? i know this is gonna sound absurd, but is it at all possible to use a yr of pathology for the dermatology prelim yr?
thanks!
thanks!
Yep that's what I did, also fit in some plastics, ID and rheum.I've heard:
it's possible you could fit in some pathology electives in a TY
While it would be nice to do that,it appears only an internship in a clinical field will count http://www.abderm.org/residency.htmlWhat are the options exactly for prelim years for derm? i know this is gonna sound absurd, but is it at all possible to use a yr of pathology for the dermatology prelim yr?

TY's are seemingly the least work, but you'll have to do general surgery and OB/GYN again, usually. It really depends on the program. For instance, one of the programs for prelim medicine offered six months of true inpatient and call, and the rest were call-free months. They also allowed pathology, but no plastics.
