NYU Grossman is consistently mentioned as a top-5 dermatology program with strong clinical training, particularly at Bellevue, though applicants report mixed experiences regarding resident happiness, work-life balance, and long hours. The program generates significant discussion around interview logistics, ranking decisions, and comparisons to peer institutions like Harvard, Penn, and UCSF, with some applicants praising faculty engagement while others cite concerns about resident satisfaction and program culture.

Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

2 entries

1. Very fucking weird vibes while rotating there. Attendings are nice to your face, harsh behind your back. Residents (including chiefs) are talking shit about certain nurses. Everyone can be super cold (esp some of the nurses? idk maybe just a NYC thing). Residents ask you to do little personal errands not related to patient care.

💬1. Might be a NYC thing with the nurses; they've been on strike in the past few months and tensions been building up. Frequent discussions on r/residency about the dynamic between NYC nurses and residents. > personal errands sounds like some bullshit > a friend who did an away there told me he was asked to help with picking up a resident's child lol > that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard respectfully a crazy thing to ask a med student

Are the T5 programs equal in impressiveness (UCSF = Penn = Harvard = NYU = Yale/Stanford) or is there an internal tier difference with one group being significantly better than the others?

The best one is the one you like the most (+/- the one in the city you like the most)

This obsession with T5s, jeez. If it makes you happy, great! At the end of the day you will be a dermatologis though. People from not T5s end up as faculty at T5s all the time, and many T5 residents end up going into private practice.

which T5 is the worst?

why

bc i want to weigh my options before applying

Mar 30

you apply based on ties, connections, and location pref. Otherwise, everything else is basically RNG. Godspeed if you're aiming for T5

Mar 30

thank you, but connections and RNG aside, and im willing to move anywhere, are they created equal or is one going to give an edge? not trying to be a snob or anything. just want genuine info for life changing career decisions

Don't love the way the question was framed about which t5 is the "worst" - they are all great for different reasons (as are non T5 programs). Harvard is great for inpatient and complex med-derm along with network; less ideal for QoL. UCSF is great for clinical volume, location, mentorship; less ideal for QoL, exploring non-clinical interests given the more busy schedule/various sites. Penn is a good balance of clinical training, research, QoL but def leans much more academic and location is not for everyone. NYU is great for clinical volume, procedural derm, network, research; less ideal for those who aren't into NYC and its pace. Stanford is great for research, innovation, kind faculty; less ideal for Mohs, clinical volume/diversity. Just a few thougts, but again. Matching derm anywhere is a huge accomplishment - don't focus too much on the rankings, focus on the personal fit for you.

is it true that UCSF residents manage attendings' inbox? < yes> what about NYU?

#27672025–2026 DermFeb 21

UCSF residents manage an attendings inbox all together when they're on that specialty clinics rotation. It's not every month or every clinic + they're given protected time (separate from regular academic time) to do it

i was scrolling and noticed that there are a number of posts that mention how stanford is "not prestigious" and "not really a t5" with no comments to back that up and the postiive post about stanford vs ucsf got deleted. im not saying these patterns are shady, but im not not saying it. and yes, i can read doximity, but the point stands.

#26092025–2026 DermFeb 21

Stanford has an unmatched brand name and is, non-negotiably, a top program. Anyone who tries to convince you not to go there likely has ill intentions

A lot of mental masturbation and obsession over what the top programs are and comparing them. As a derm resident, I will say to be grateful if you match anywhere and be extra grateful if you match at one of your top choices/place you really liked + 10002

along the same lines, why do people say it is toxic? The residents seem super happy and their schedule seems very manageable?

Feb 21
0

it was factually incorrect. the residents love the program, the salary is fine (residents are always going out to eat and doing fun things in the city), really enjoyed my away. people love to seem "in the know" by repeating that nyu is so "toxic". in reality, so many people want to go there and are jealous they cannot get an interview

Feb 21

i have heard from multiple current nyu students that it is in fact toxic lol

as a current nyu student, they say this because some are chosen to pre-match and some are not. Again, jealousy. I promise we all want to match at nyu lmfao.
