#12372018-2019 DermMar 22

#7052018-2019 DermMar 22

Only 8 programs left, plus second/third wave interviews

#2142017-2018 DermMar 23

For the sake of completeness, anyone receive (or know of someone who received) an interview invitation at any of the remaining sites: Case Western Metrohealth (not to be confused with University Hospitals), KCUMB Mesa, KCUMB Cuyahoga Falls, New York Medical College, Puerto Rico, St Joseph Mercy Livington, Temple, or UT Health Science Center at Houson?

Mar 23

Anyone hear from Temple yet???

#2092017-2018 DermMar 23

6 programs left... Anyone hear from St. Joseph's Mercy Livingston, Temple, UPenn Med-Derm, UT Health Science at Houston or either of the KCU programs (Mesa or Cuyahoga Falls)?

#1922017-2018 DermMar 23

I spoke with a DO student during an interview, and she mentioned that St. Joesph's Mercy Livingston has already sent out invites, and that the PD said that only DO students will be interviewing.

Mar 23

Thanks for letting us know!

Mar 23

Penn Med/Derm also apparently released invites although no one has said they got one (called coordinator... historically they interview 2-3 people only and don't always fill the spot)

Mar 23

Temple recently got a new department chair. Maybe theyre still getting set up? It does seem pretty late though

Mar 23

During a separate prelim intv in Philly, the attending I interviewed with told me Temple dermatology was having accreditation issues so not sure of their status

Mar 23

could you please elaborate on the temple accreditation issues? i see nothing on the acgme site.

Mar 23

Sorry I don't know any details was just told that by an attending (don't know the validity of it but also don't know why he would have just randomly brought it up)

Mar 23

Temple invite, external, non-rotator
