Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

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.

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

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.

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?
