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

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone here had any perspectives on programs in Boston outside of Harvard so BU, Tufts, UMass, etc.? Or programs close to Boston like Brown? I am on the east coast but want to end up in Boston because my fiance and family (and his family) are in Boston, but I have v average stats for derm as far as board scores, pubs, etc. I'm an M3 submitting apps next fall and I'm not sure if any of those programs are within reach / should I do an away rotation at those programs or they mostly take home students (or RY students) / if anyone had any perspective about what the culture is like at those programs! I would love to hear ANY perspectives if anyone has any and would be willing to share with me! Thank you!!
