Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
4 entries✅1. All of the hospitals are beautiful
❌1. I heard that their Peds Derm spot is guaranteed to whoever their current research fellow is, the nepotism runs deep. Good luck.
❌2. Most stressful interview day. No breaks between rooms. Rapid fire of very challenging questions and follow-ups. Felt very judged with every answer I gave. PD responded with rudeness after I asked a basic question.
💬1. well the shame is clearly not true as this year's peds match was not the research fellow +1. very organized interview day and responsive coordinator. > hated this interview day seemed like they were trying to see how you do under stress

What is the best derm program for overall training (academics, diverse patient population, surgery, breadth of pathology)<NYU, UCSF, and Penn. Harvard and stanford are in the top 5 too but dont give you nearly as much diverse patient population or breadth of pathology
