Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

1 entry

1. Next to no skin of color, almost all skin checks all day everyday. Very high clinic volume and residents worked very hard while in clinic, lectures during lunch everyday, seems like little admin time. Location is very rough (there are no Ubers available).

what about northwestern regular Derm/peds derm> NW med derm counts for advanced derm NW position + med derm position. NOT prelim. You can ask to be considered for categorical IM, but that was not guaranteed by just applying.

Exact wording: "We are very excited to welcome you to the Northwestern University combined Medicine-Dermatology interviews, which also serves as interviews for either the categorical Medicine and/or advanced Dermatology tracks, if you have applied to either of those Northwestern programs. "

Is the few minutes where you go up on stage and say where you matched more important than where you will spend the next few years

#26462025–2026 DermFeb 21

people go on stage to say where they matched? mine just gives you the envelope and then you just open in a large room with everyone else and their family. kinda messed up to put people on the stage

Is this WashU / Dartmouth? WashU's match stage event be so crazy each year. And they make a video out of it every year. Some of the people opening their envelopes genuinely seemed sad. Dartmouth's match is fun though - I think you get to play your own boss song as you walk down the aisle? I may be misremembering though.

as a reapplicant, one thing to keep in mind is a lot of physician spots fill internally. dartmouth had 2 and they only interviewed 2 people that were internal so not an open spot for everyone

#33622025–2026 DermMar 18

>Likely the case with most physician spots at institutions with fellow

reapplicant here:( how can i see what programs had R spots available this past cycle? also does that change every year?>> Yup changes every year, there was approximately 7 or 8 when I submitted ERAS and maybe 4-6 that came out from start to end of cycle

#33492025–2026 DermMar 17

this year I think was UCSF, case western, midwestern, UTMB, puerto rico, larkin, pcom georgia, temple, mcg, utah - half of those came out halfway through the cycle

Mar 17

The ones from the start of the cycle: Lark S Miami (not real, reserved for the unpaid research fellow), Case Western, Midwestern, DCC-Flint, UTMB, PR, PCOM, Georgia. Later ones that came out but from the grapevines they only interviewed people that had already signaled earlier in the cycle and/or were reserved for internal as there wasn't any mention of new reapplicants that hadn't originally signaled getting IIs: UCSF, Temple, MCG, NYMC, Wayne State, Utah

For anybody who is interviewing at Dartmouth Hitchcock this year, BE PREPARED!!! They were incredibly rigerous last year with loads of tricky behavioral questions. < oh gosh...like what?
