Fame & Shame

2025–2026 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

For those of you who received BUMC (TX) IM-Prelim II's, do you know how many spots were available/how far out interview dates went? Also was this your home state/home program?
