Fame & Shame
2026-2027 Derm
2 entries✅1. I rotated here and honestly this was my favorite away – great culture, very nice PD/APD and faculty, and great vibes with the residents who were inviting and very happy overall. Well-rounded training with good mix of subspecialty clinics (rheum derm, cutaneous onc, peds, etc.), and this was echoed by the residents. They do very well in the fellowship match with the last 3 Mohs matches being at Harvard, UCSD, and UCLA. Dermpath was a weakness but I heard they were revamping and just got a heavy hitting new dermpath faculty there + other new faculty. Amazing location being in Boston, and also you get close interaction with the other Boston programs which is nice. I was initially concerned about the accreditation warning people were talking about, but it looks like in the newest ACGME data from 2026 they're fully accredited.
✅2. Echoing what was said above ^ Such a kind place and was my favorite away. I would be so happy to train here. Such a good group of people. Very well rounded program

I trust it, they'll probably divide the applications around that time for review by their coordinated release date.

What does this mean on BU's webiste: "Our program will be accepting the standard ERAS supplemental application." Is that just the regular ERAS application or is there a supplemental thing too?
I believe that's the regular ERAS application and that "supplemental" is leftover from when changes were made years ago

<-- yes. this is true. Supplemental was signals and geosignalling a few years ago but people liked it so it's just standard now.

If you go to Harvard over say BU or Tufts, would your training be better / would your life be that different? > I hear harvard has more inpatient maybe that may be different. HA. In all seriousness, no. As an adult, the largest impact on your education is YOU. A program may be better or worse for your priorities, but in all honesty, it likely will not make a measurable difference. If your priority is prestige and academics, Harvard may be better. However, there is no objective answer here. I know people wish there were given how many times this is asked. Put your personal priorities first. There are as many different careers as there are dermatologists.

so this whole time they're just under accreditation warning cause the residents cheated.. wtf?>> THey took someone I know that was the most idiotic person in medicine clinically but somehow had the highest step2 score of people I've known, i wouldn't be suprised if he paid a testing facility in their home country so they could cheat
