1 entry❌1. Residents are on their own when it comes to studying for board exams and the program is sadly underresourced with no in-house dermpath. Have to share VA with other DC residency programs. Terrible salary that is not adjusted to high COL in DC.

Is Howard done interveiwing? Wondering if it's worth trying to hope for a trickle there < when did the AM howard IV session end?
For Howard's intreview, is it just one hour per applicant and no group portion to learn about program/speak with PD?
speaking on diversity, which programs are the most "diverse" or really value diversity? < ucsf, nyu, gwu, and duke have really stood out. < howard is trying to take more non urm residents according to their chair as the demographics of dc changes
Does Howard have a Mohs surgeon? <yes!
For Howard's interview, did you all attend both the pre and post IV meet and greets/social hours? Were they any different?
hi question here about howard interview! im really interested in working with SOC but no experience during medical school. can i expect specific questions about skin of color? im really nervous
any Howard or OHSU trickle in the past week? :(
Is Howard's interview day only 1 hour? Do you log on only for the one-hour block of time you're scheduled? > I have the same question, it looks like this is the case based on the email/schedule
For students that already interviewed at Howard, were the questions mostly behavioral or get to know you type questions? Mixture of both!
Any Howard interview impressions? I loved it! There's a resident room; VA faculty room; and Howard hospital faculty room. Residents all seem super happy and they are very friendly and approachable. Faculty were very nice as well.
Are the interviews at Howard panel interviews?
Have my first derm pre-interview meet and greet tonight (Howard). If they didn't specify dress code, is it safe to assume these are business casual?
