Similar to person below, I matched into my back-up of pediatrics. Does anyone know people who have done peds then derm residency? Do I need to do a prelim year again though? Thank you!! < There was a woman on DermTwitter who matched into Derm this year and will be completing her Pediatrics residency at Yale. < could i please have a name or link? ty!

i know someone who did one year of peds and then switched to a derm physician only spot so was able to start derm directly after a peds intern year! so if you want to switch earlier could be worth looking into! < omg that's awesome, was she in a peds prelim position or categorical? i hope my program is supportive
