Fame & Shame
2026-2027 Derm
3 entries✅1. Super sweet residents, they try really hard to make you feel welcome, the course coordinator and director are extremely responsive and invested in your experience, and they all write nice comments about you! Mostly working with residents and a few dedicated days with an attending 1:1 in clinic. Attendings you work with are also super kind.
❌1. Parking sucks; expensive at main hospital and even then, have to drive around to find a spot for a while.
💬1. Parking permit is $85 for one month and the closest parking lot with guaranteed-to-find-parking is 10-15min walk from main

would you rather have all honors and 0 research, or 1-2 honors with 20+ pubs/research items??
Feel like it depends on all of the other factors of your application (Step score, mentors/letters, med school prestige, etc.) ofc having all honors and lots of research would be better than either so it's hard to compare those scenarios without looking at everything else

does med school prestige really matter if youre not planning on going to a t10 derm program? (in terms of MD applicants)

i'd rather have a well balanced app w some honors and some pubs, than all honors 0 pubs but thats me

med school prestige is factored more for certain programs (defintely lower on the list in terms of factors assessed), agree about having a more well-rounded app

>the neurotic 270+ step 2, all honors, 20+ research derm applicant is few and far between. Believe in yourself - not all applicants are perfect. theyre average :). Aim for as many honors as you feasibly can, handful of pubs, show people you're likeable. that'll take you farther than grades and research at the end of the day

I've heard of quite a few people with these stats, I think it's also important to consider mentors and who you know since that can influence one's chances of matching

agreed, and connections from away rotations make a huge difference in terms of "networking" as well. the loudest ones are the ones that have the best stats, but dont get into your head about it! > more good thoughts like this please, maybe we're all just delusional

also want to say, I feel on reddit and these spreadsheets, we tend to see people on the extremes in terms of stats and research while the "average" students who match tend to not put a bunch of stuff here making it seem like applicants are extraordinary

scores in 95% of cases, excluding the "top" programs which virtue signal about evaluating applicants holistically (looking at u UCSF). It's hilarious how they say they don't have cutoffs for board scores, but they magically end up matching residents with only the most insane stats >how do you know this info? They don't release stats publically, and UCSF seems to match many students who dont come from T5 programs.

Current R3/R4s come from: UCSD, UC Davis, UMich, UCSF, Hopkins, Emory, UCSF, Vandy, Northwestern, UCSF, Hopkins, UCSF, Penn. Idk seems pretty high ranking for programs (excluding the California bias)

You can also see what they tell their own students about required stats for matching (https://meded.ucsf.edu/student-services/specialty-information-and-advising#Dermatology), for example in their table "How important is each the following for admission to a competitive program?", where honors, AOA, and research are highly recommended

Some absolutely attrocious tweets coming out of DermTwitter attacking programs for not matching any Black applicants. Clearly improving DEI is an essential movement for the field but there are so many logical flaws with this trash take < who posted 'atrocious' tweets? < I don't see any. < everyone just wants to complain about something on twitter
DermTwitter (since it started) world is quite different from the real Derm world in terms of emphasis in the specialty. I wouldn't say take it w/a grain of salt but they're not the majority academic Derm faculty view (which is still relatively traditional), so keep that in mind. If you're someone who does not have a home dermatology residency program at your medical school, DermTwitter can be very helpful there when it comes to building an application.

All I'll say is that it is pretty weird when your residency is in a city with 70-80% black people and NONE of the residents that you match are black. The reason they're attacked is because it's not like it's because of a lack of interest from URMs < I imagine that most cities/urban cores aren't majority white. This idea that black residents of a city can only get good medical care from a dermatologist of the same race is weird. Academic medical centers by default treat marginalized communities. Outside of racial quotas (which are unconstitutional) for Derm there is really nothing that can be done about a derm residency not matching a black applicant. The only cities that are greater than 70% black are Detroit, Michigan and Jackson, Mississippi.
