Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
2 entries❌1. Interview day was brutal and inefficient. 14 (!!) 8-minute interviews back-to-back with little break in-between. Program coordinator was super nice but disorganized and we ended up finishing almost an hour over time. Interviewers were super distant, most of them barely smiled when they met me, and seemed bored/uninterested the whole time.
❌1. Toxic program. They have a strong preference and priority for Case Western students, matching 5 out of 7 of their seats to their own students. They historically had separate allopathic and osteopathic spots but recently eliminated the reservation of the osteopathic seats and used those spots to match their own students.

Thoughts on Case Western University Hospital?
anyone do an away at tufts? how was it? < tuff < liked it and interviewed<any other info?
Curious what people think about whether derm is visa-friendly for applicants from US med schools? << It depends on the particular visa that you would need (H-1B, J-1, etc.), but as long as you're a graduate of an American medical school, preferably an allopathic medical school, you should be fine. I would check out different derm residency websites to see what their policy is as it's very much an individual program thing. I know places like Case Western Reserve's medical school take some Canadian students, so this question is more common than one might think. < Stanford matched an international med student from Brown this year, I would imagine there are a few others at other programs too!
J-1 visa is easier than H-1B but some programs offer H-1B too, I would email the program coordinators
I wonder with things being virtual in terms of interviews, whether derm residency programs are now looking inwards and thus mainly recruiting from internal candidates (who they have known for a longer period of time over 4-5 years), unlike when you got to meet external candidates face to face in formal interviews. Case Western Derm matching mainly their own students at Case is very unusual and not at all in line with how they have matched Derm applicants in previous years and in the last two decades. Or maybe it's just possible they're being nicer and better to their home students.
people are just here to find echochamber to reinforce their bias without any evidence. << Probably true, although it doesn't really answer why certain derm residency programs that never used to recruit heavily from their internal home candidates are now suddenly doing that a lot more. < they could just be better candidates.... << And you think that wasn't the case in the past? I've matched so it's not really an issue for me, but I do think that future medical students (especially those who are maybe of lower income and don't have as many resources at their particular medical school) applying to Derm should be able to know if it's really worth taking the time to rotate at a particular place or applying to a particular program if they really don't have a chance of getting an interview or matching there.
Case western taking their own students is like an NFL scout picking students from LSU... why wouldn't top med schools feed into their own home programs? < Why the FUCK would you say LSU and not Alabama in this example? < What's the difference between the two? <<< To the OP, I guarantee you in past match cycles Case Western has gotten students from top tier med schools, so to use your analogy, they're actually dropping down, compared to before when they were clawing their way up in terms of matched Derm applicants.> Wayne state and UIC are not top med schools, maybe in the midwest << Case Western is a much higher ranked Derm residency program compared to UIC and Wayne State, due to their clinical & basic science research base. < what the fuck is the point of this comment. of course this is a true statement that has nothing to do with this discussion. im waiting on someone to tell me which harvard or yale student case western has matched recently. << Why are you so salty?<because someone is lying, distracting, and or all of the above to hide up observations about the case western match list and likely rank list that are not only true. but useful for future applicants. so obvious when this happens. << I have no idea why UIC and Wayne State were brought into the discussion.<those are med schools the residents from case western the last 4 years have come from. midwest schools. they take residents from midwest state schools they dont have harvard students interviewing there and ranking them high very often. that is useful to know. < Again, that's not been Case Western's recruiting process previously. They're not a state flagship. They've matched people coming from USC, Pitt, Harvard, Penn, etc. but stay salty and mad.
no one has shown proof of recent yale or harvard to case western residents. its not hard to pull up a link of someone online if this actually exists. if it exists it is a rare phenomenon and they probably had family in the area or something. why the heck else would you want to go to cleveland <<< This isn't criminal court. You can either believe it or not. No one cares.>again, just showing this spreadsheet is full of bad faith actors who dont really care to point out things that are helpful to most future applicants. if you are a midwest area student with strong credentials for dermatology application case western is probably a good target program for you. no one seriously looks at case western when they interview there and think shit do i not have a shot here because the 5 harvard and yale people are going to end up here over me. you do feel that way, however at other midwest programs sometimes.
"Do you guys know of any derm PIs that have taken on (and maybe even funded) college students or post-bacc students in the past? << Usually any Dermatology department that has an extensive basic science lab will take you on. The calculation is different w/college students and post-bacc grad students since you're not applying for Derm residency. Case Western is a good option. << Paul Nghiem...i think?? the god of MCC and chair of u washington. does basic/translational clinical stuff and highly productive and well connected beyond his derm dept. these kinds of positions usually vary though depending on when investigators get funding and if they need to expand their lab/team etc i dont think theres some list of this for derm depts across the country people usually advertise when research spots open or through word of mouth"
Did everyone get the email from UH saying that they'll release interviews on Dec 5th? < no < I got it < did other people not get this? < what is UH < case western
Anyone knows when will MetroHealth/Case Wester and Largo come out? << Dec 5 for MetroHealth!
