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.

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?

I was just wondering, is it common now for Derm programs to run both a derm residency for MD residents as well as for Nurse Practitioners? I've been looking at derm residency websites and a little shocked to see a Derm NP on staff of a strong Derm program, with Derm physician attendings. Is this something that the AAD has embraced going forward? Are allopathic derm residents learning beside NP residents?

I have browsed a lot of derm sites and haven't seen this. Since this is public information, can you share which program this was?

It was Case Western's website. I was browsing thru the Derm residency faculty: http://casemed.case.edu/dept/dermatology/faculty.html, and they have several NPs on their faculty and according to one of their bios they apparently have a Dermatology Nurse Practitioner Program there. IDK if their NP residents trained next to MD derm residents or something. A little bit irked honestly.

According to their Youtube video, it looks like that Case's NP "residents" and the MD/DO derm residents actually work & learn together: . My jaw just dropped watching that. Don't know why funding for NP derm resident(s) can't be used instead for more Case MD/DO derm spots. Just one more way the AAD and academic derms stab med students/derm residents in the back.

I mean - guys, if we want to protect our futures, we need to take a stand against things like this. No one else will fight for us. It's not uncommon to hear about midlevels thinking that dermatology is easy and hearing taht they want to move in the field. Is there any indication Case is actually a "top" program? I would be extremely hesitant to train there.

Case is not a "top" program, but it's a relatively strong Derm program. From their website, they do quite a bit of derm basic science research if that's your thing.

Hmmm interesting, thanks for sharing

This has been looked into heavily by the AAD. Just google "Derm Care Team AAD" and see how the AAD responded to a NP organization that wants to independently certify themselves as "dermatologists." You'll find their position statements on the matter
