❌1. You have to be one of Mangolds fellows to match here. It is a waste of 1 of 28 applications otherwise. The match history of the last however many years speaks for itself, but a current attending at Mayo AZ said to me (slight paraphrasing) “you just have to do what he says for a year and they’ll take you.”

If I want to do Mohs what would be the best programs to look into? Ik some "top" programs discourage/don't support students interested in it and it's a red flag to mention in interviews lol. Overall been told to look at programs with a fellowship associated with a residency but would be helpful to know of specific ones people have heard about that are supportive with high Mohs match rates

#24522024-2025 DermMar 16

Iowa, Mayo Rochester, Wisconsin (the best ones for Mohs and surgical and procedural training in general)

Mar 16

some of the best Mohs faculty in the country are at these programs and they have historically consistently high match rates and support

Mar 16

Top programs definitely support mohs fellowship as most of the people who get into mohs go to a relatively top program

Mar 16

i've heard for example programs like stanford, emory, and duke aren't supportive based on the name and shame/why I didn't rank higher so was curious if there programs known to be supportive

Mar 16

some of those you just listed aren't necessarily top derm programs, Emory is in the t15 and Stanford is consistently t5-t10 but Duke isn't t15 but more to your point Duke doesn't have a Mohs fellowship and notoriously some of these programs are more about complex med derm and have picky Mohs teaching faculty

Mar 16

So surprised people ranked these following programs pretty low: BU, Colorado, USC, Brown, UTSW, Mayo, WashU, Case, UT Houston, Utah << although I ranked UT Houston 2nd, I can understand their ranking

How is Mayo AZ mohs match?

I am once again asking if the mayo jacksonville prelims wear suits every day tysm

#19512024-2025 DermMar 16

Anyone know anything about the Mayo Jacksonville prelim schedule? Ik the breakdown is online but is it somewhat chill? < dont know specifics but did a nonderm rotation at Mayo FL and prelims seemed happy. IM categoricals have an X+Y schedule and I think on the Y week the prelims just rotate in their advanced specialty and have academic time I think?

#19242024-2025 DermMar 16

Would you say that MAyo AZ/FL has access to the mohs spots the same way that Mayo MN does?

#18892024-2025 DermMar 16

Just curious - how do Mayo FL and Mayo AZ compare to Mayo MN in terms of prestige?

#18762024-2025 DermMar 16

would it be crazy to rank BU over Mayo MN bc of the location?

#18752024-2025 DermMar 16

guys what do you think of my ROL: Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Penn, Mayo. I only got 5 interviews and am so nervous :/

#17222024-2025 DermMar 16

Do we rank both adv and cat mayo programs? Confused about this

#17052024-2025 DermMar 16

Has anyone gotten the social link or an interview schedule from Mayo for tonight and tomorrow yet?> for the pre-interview social I just looked at the event and there is an attached pdf with a zoom link. update:it's the same for interview day

Anyone have a friend with a Mayo Florida gen surg interview date they want to trade? Friend has 12/16 and needs 1/6 (sorry for the desperate non-derm plea)
