Applicants report significant logistical and organizational issues at University of Maryland, including poor communication from the program coordinator, scheduling conflicts, double rejections, and uncertainty about whether the program is accepting residents. There are concerns about program stability and competence, with some applicants describing it as 'a hot mess.' The program appears to have limited interview spots and internal applicants face constraints.

#28652025–2026 DermFeb 21

a lot of internal applicants but they want to leave hopkins lmfao

seems like most residents are from maryland med schools tho...>as an internal applicant Hopkins is towards the bottom of my list. the past 4 years in Baltimore have been pretty mid, and there's been a ton of turnover in the derm department faculty-wise. Mentorship is kind of lacking and with people leaving I've heard from residents that there are some gaps in training they feel they don't get here. Definitely still some good eggs, and if you're willing to tolerate Baltimore for 3 years it wouldn't be the worst place to train, but if you have better options I would take them…

Baltimore isn't terrible but there are much nicer cities to train in and live in lol

Anyone heard anything about UMD not taking residents this year? >word on the street

#4522025–2026 DermFeb 21

like no residents at all..? < that's what I heard but through word of mouth idk how true it is bc how?> did something happen with the program?

Feb 21
0

why would they take no residents...

Feb 21
0

Not that I know of, they got a huge endowment from their medicine department and are going through a lot of expansion so to not take residents this year would seem counterintuitive tbh

Feb 21

on residency explorer it says they only interviewed 8 applicants last year lol < yeah definitely not true!

i'd hope not too, but isn't this info directly from the AAMC? < as a 2025 applicant lurking on this spreadsheet I can confirm, much more than 8
