Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

2 entries

1. The only good thing i have to say about this program is that they have a diverse set of patients and strong med derm. But this school was awful and unfortunately disappointing and did not meet expectations for a supportive or learning environment.The faculty across the board does not like to engage w/ students (not sure if its the same for home students). Faculty doesnt make an effort to get to know rotators, and there's minimal investment in teaching. Residents are overall unapproachable or standoffish toward rotators (theres like 3-4 nice ones and you can easily tell who they are). One resident rolled her eyes at me when I introduced myself then another rotator told me that yelled at another rotator and made her cry bc of a silly mistake (wont go into details in order to not Doxx anyone). Away is easy to get, they will give an II, but they will take there home students.

2. Residents and attendings at this program also openly hate on other derm programs in the region in front of rotators. Very unprofessional.

How do you all rank the Which are your favorite/sleeper programs releasing tomorrow (WashU,Pitt, Wisc, Duke, UIC,UCDavis, UNC, MCW, OSU, Oklahoma,etc)? < can you pls stop this is so unnecessary lol and only adds to weird stress/competitiveness/toxicity that's been festering in this sheet over the last week

What are all the derm programs that have categorical intern years? So far I just have Ohio State, Mayo AZ, Mayo MN, Indiana, Cleveland Clinic, Utah?

#23212020-2021 DermMar 22

another question on that note--let's say I'm interviewing at a program with both categorical and advanced spots (like ohio state, indiana, mayo rochester, etc.)--if it's a huge priority for me to spend my prelim year with my SO/family/whatever, can I rank the advanced spot high and the categorical spot low? <Nobody sees your rank list, you can do whatever you want

Are you people only using the SLOR for Ohio State U? Or for all other programs as well?

Is OSU the only program that wants a SLOR?

Does anyone who rotated/interviewed at OSU remember whether they have "admin/academic time" if so how much?

#22682019-2020 DermMar 23

What did people that interviewed at Indiana think? I don't know why they went unmatched - I think it was an error with the match list submission and not truly lack of interest.

<- the chair felt a bit arrogant/douchey but I heard that the rest of the faculty are super nice and it makes up for it. strong research and relatively low COL in Indy. I'm also shocked they went unmatched last year, and it was almost definitely a technical error since I know people who ranked it #1
