Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
5 entries✅1. One of the best well rounded training programs in the country. You'll work hard but come out really well trained especially in complex med derm. The best academic derms I've met have trained here. Plus it's in Miami lol (could be a con for the price and if you don't like big cities though). Some concerns for toxicity in the past but now have been vastly improved with new leadership who are super supportive of their residents. Residents also really echoed this during interviews. Really great interview day, faculty and residents seem very nice and happy to be living and training there. Away rotations are high yield here (auto IV). While Spanish is helpful, it's not absolutely required especially since its derm, but there is plenty of interpreter help available if needed (especially at the county hospital). PD and chair are amazing and constantly hiring new faculty both nationally and internationally. Many unique and rare specialty clinics. Pretty much every faculty does research. May not be the best program to go if you want a chiller schedule however.
✅2. Despite being one of the largest derm academic programs, their cosmetic training is really solid. Can't say the same for other big academic programs. Really strong surgical exposure too. Will get to manage conditions others only read about.
✅3. Fantastic away rotation experience. They spent a ton of time getting to know me and hear about my goals and how the department could support those goals. Also, extremely hands on rotation.
✅4. I've only heard amazing things from the alumni of this program with regards to culture and training. The chair is awesome. Multiple resident wellness days off each year, good elective time in final year to purse your interests
❌1. A true beacon of toxicity, from the students to the residents to the faculty. Workhorse program and hours. The pay is -not- enough for living reasonably in downtown Miami. The APD takes pride in the amount of inpatient hour and weekend calls this program has as if this is some kind of benefit/as if the majority of you will actually go into academic medicine or complex med-derm. The pro comment mentions "new leadership" but it has been the same 3 (chair, PD, APD) in charge for the last 4 or 5 years that pick favorites. This claim that the rigor will provide excellent training will frankly be disproven if you met any batch of the recently selected cohorts over the last few years. Rank high solely off location, but do not pretend the program is riding off anything but its name and the select faculty that are renowned.
“Agree on the pay to COL comment, but I personally only had great interactions with the faculty and residents so not really sure where your comments coming from. I won't dispute it though because everyone has there own experience, but I think its important for others to form their own opinion on people through in person interactions. Also, I personally found their residents to be incredibly well trained, and have worked with some of their alumni who are also leaders in the field. I think you're right to say they want those who are looking to stay in academia and advance the field, and that's honestly not the majority of derm applicants so its possible this disconnect is where the 'toxicity' is being referred to.”

Since the research fellowship tab isn't editable, one of the attendings at UMiami has a new clinical trials paid fellowship. They are looking for someone to start July 2019. Please email Dr. Leigh Nattkemper lxn202@med.miami.edu and Dr. Anna Nichols a.nichols@med.miami.edu if you're interested.

Hey I matched in Derm and have a bunch of friends who did - feel free to ask us anything!
What color pom poms did you use on your rotation princess?

ask for advice on the real SDN site where there are plenty of known attendings and private practice folks donating their valuable time to help you

I know this will be shocking to applicants, but people who've recently matched or are current derm residents do come back to help people in future match cycles. This happened last year on the spreadsheet and their advice was invaluable esp. on the WWYD posts in which you're comparing several programs

I'm not the OP, but I'm the one who did start out the WWYD with the UTSW vs Miami post =) and I'm glad to give honest advice either here, or on SDN!

| Thank you so much for asking that question last year -- it was sort of the match that set the whole flame on the WWYD posts and the answers we got were so helpful (probably more helpful than the spreadsheet had been up until that point). Hope intern year is treating you well. |

Looking at the stats tab just serves to remind me how much of a crapshoot this all is. I mean, how do you decide from so many incredible candidates? Some people are gonna match with borderline stats while others with stellar achievements will walk away empty-handed. I know this isn't really a newsflash to anyone, but jeez.
Serves as a reminder that stats are not everything in this game. Some people just cant help but sabotage themselves by being themselves.

It is so much more than stats; they purely use that before they meet you in person. Aways can change the game for sure, in a positive way if this is the way you shine. Keep positive!

I know this is going to shock you, but a lot of matching into Derm can rely on connections/having a certain hook/networking/nepotism (especially this) in Derm. That's just the reality. x200000

Agreed and this isn't just derm. This is the real world :/ x1

Yes, that's in life, but my point is that it's MUCH more prevalent/obvious in Derm, bc there just aren't enough spots & Derm is good at restricting its numbers, compared to say IM, FM, Peds, etc.

Also derm faculty have gotten good at extracting a lot of free/cheap work from research students/fellows in exchange for residency positions.

Yup. Good example - Miami.

Can't speak for everyone, but I did... got my hopes up and everything x3

Yup. What a tease. Does this mean invites won't go out until after Dec 10?

Do any Miami internals/rotators know what date they'll be interviewing? Website says Sunday in early January so guessing 1/7... I wish they'd let us know since they only offer 1 date!
