Hi,
does anyone have suggestions as to where is a good place to do a dermatology elective for 4 weeks? I've been trying to search the internet but have not been very successful. Any advice would be appreciated!

You should consider doing a rotation at a program you think you would want to train at. Then all you need to do is be very nice and helpful, as well-read/knowledgable as you can, and make a great impression. The match has more to do with people liking you and wanting to work with you than anything else, although academic profile should be up to snuff for derm. That said, you may also consider rotating somwhere with a strong program and where a great LOR can be gotten. Places that come to mind include Iowa, Mayo, Michigan and many more. Good luck.
