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

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

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

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

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

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

Considering Stanford but did we ever find out more information on why the PGY2 resident was fired? << I did not find information but I met the PGY2 resident in the past and had very unsavory interactions with him. I'm not surprised he was fired he was extremely offputting

Stanford vs UWa (QoL, I like both locations)< Stanford... < Seattle is more fun than Palo Alto < I mean just for the program (support, schedules, benefits, etc), not the location < Stanford is definitely the stronger program, however I liked the leadership at UW better < personally I've heard the residents at Stanford are very happy, and the UW residents gave mixed vibes <happy untill 2 months in and they're kicked out < this resident was prob a huge anomaly
