Got my board score back and wondering if it's worth it to consider dermatology. I'm still on the fence on a few other specialties (Medicine, Psychiatry, Urology)....which I like for different reasons. Just interested to see from people to see if its worth it to do a rotation this year and see if it's what I like. I'd probably have to take a gap research year if I do go for it I assume considering my board scores are maybe acceptable, but really not stellar by derm terms. Unfortunately, want to match in CA which I know isn't easy. Want to be realistic.
