💬1. Something weird going on here. Recently lost a prominent black faculty member, then signed another prominent black dermatologist. Recent complaints about attempting to steal NIH funding from another faculty member they fired. Unsure if this affects the residency at all.

6 programs left... Anyone hear from St. Joseph's Mercy Livingston, Temple, UPenn Med-Derm, UT Health Science at Houston or either of the KCU programs (Mesa or Cuyahoga Falls)?

I spoke with a DO student during an interview, and she mentioned that St. Joesph's Mercy Livingston has already sent out invites, and that the PD said that only DO students will be interviewing.

Mar 23

Thanks for letting us know!

Mar 23

Penn Med/Derm also apparently released invites although no one has said they got one (called coordinator... historically they interview 2-3 people only and don't always fill the spot)

Mar 23

Temple recently got a new department chair. Maybe theyre still getting set up? It does seem pretty late though

Mar 23

During a separate prelim intv in Philly, the attending I interviewed with told me Temple dermatology was having accreditation issues so not sure of their status

Mar 23

could you please elaborate on the temple accreditation issues? i see nothing on the acgme site.

Mar 23

Sorry I don't know any details was just told that by an attending (don't know the validity of it but also don't know why he would have just randomly brought it up)

Mar 23

Anyone hear from UT Houston yet??? Any classmates or friends or people you've met on the trail mention an interview from Houston?

#1792017-2018 DermMar 23

Yes, I talked to someone who was going to Houston to interview. It was 2 weeks ago.

Mar 23

Thank you!

Mar 23

They interview people on the rotation itself and MANY people rotate at Houston. Do not know for sure but I bet they could fill just based on the number of rotators, as this was a great rotation!

Any baylor com externals? x1

For those who are externals and were invited to BCM, did you get offered both 2/2 and 2/9 or just 1 of those dates?

#10072016-2017 DermMar 22

Is UT Houston out or not? I thought I saw that it was out on Friday but it's gone on the interviews tab now.

#8692016-2017 DermMar 22

thoughts on UT Houston program?

#6882016-2017 DermMar 22

For anyone that interviewed at Baylor College of Medicine last week or tomorrow - do you know where in the VA we meet for Grand Rounds at 8am? There wasn't a room number listed in the email

#6332016-2017 DermMar 22

UC Irvine versus UT Houston any thoughts? Just thinking about general dermatology now and not concerned about the location but the academic program

#6272016-2017 DermMar 22

henry ford vs baylor COM?

#5902016-2017 DermMar 22

Is anyone familiar with Baylor Houston and Dr. Hsu leaving? It seemed liked the residents were bummed and slighlty concerned

#5502016-2017 DermMar 22

Could people share more thoughts on Baylor Houston? I actually found their interview day to be a huge red flag but this was kind of a gut feeling. However it seems like they have a favorable reputation at least on the spreadsheet. But I was turned off by how little they claim to work and how much they leave Houston for vacation. Also seems kind of fishy circumstances surrounding Dr. Hsu's departure. Thanks guys

#4312016-2017 DermMar 22

baylor COM was seriously disorganzed

#3972016-2017 DermMar 22
