Dumb question, but how does match system work for Derm/Prelims? If I apply to Derm, Prelims, and FM (backup), do I have to rank each separately? Or if I match into a Derm, I automatically get put into a Prelim that accepts me. Sorry, but I'm kinda lost with this info and haven't had the chance to talk to my school about it
You have a main list and a supplemental rank list attached to each advanced program you rank.
Thanks! Prelim programs don't have to be part of the main list right? I could just have it as part of my supplemental, so if I didn't get a Derm program, I could hopefully get the FM backup and not be matched into a Prelim without Derm?
correct. unless u put a prelim on your main rank list, you will not match it without a derm program.
