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

How is that "crazy" that pretty consistent with past match lists. So happens that they all wanted to stay, but in general they take people from top tier medical schools

not consistent. Usually they match 1-2 internal candidates. Not 5 lol.

Don't worry it won't last long. It will all be made public as programs list their residents. Schools also haven't posted their match lists yet and those DO have names on them.

I don't know what "trend" you're talking about. The same schools that have put names in the past, have done so now.
