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

They sent out an email an hour before NRMP saying that "UM Frost Dermatology will not be fortunate enough to train all of you talented and wonderful people, but I am confident that we will all be colleagues in years to come." They were trying to be positive but it was very stressful right before the NRMP email... -- Thanks for posting the email. yeah, that is stressful!

I can add on. I think if you interested in complex med derm or academia, its a really good program. They have definitely made some changes over the last year or two (dedicated didactic time, etc) but the residents still work harder than most other programs (busy consult service, long clinics). Residents seemed to be spending their free time catching up on sleep/studying, which didn't seem to always be the case at other programs. But the hours will pay off and you'll learn both bread and butter and complex derm very well. Of note, I think they also have some of the strongest melanoma/ctcl exposure. In other words, I think maybe the people who were/are unhappy at this program are people who expected a more "kush" residency or possibly are only interested in pursing a mostly "bread-and-butter" private practive.

Do people have further insight on Michigan? I loved the interview day and pre-interview dinner and didn't pick up malignant vibes (not sure I even know how), but the sdn article and interim chair situation are making me a little nervous. Any insiders or current residents able to comment?
Michigan had real problems in the past (ie. SDN post) and probably was one of the few actually malignant programs. Many people have confirmed that those issues are long since resolved. Classmate rotated there and confirmed that as well <thank you!

How did Harvard, Stanford, Penn, NYU, and UCSF come to be the definitive top 5 programs? It seems like no one can agree on anything, except that these are the top 5. Makes me wonder how this was determined and why places like Yale/UTSW/Michigan/Mayo/etc aren't considered top 5?
<- i feel like a lot is based on history no? I know at NYU they trained some of the trailblazers in derm (like way way back) and it was also big during the AIDS epidemic -- That's good to know. Tbh, I actually don't know much of anything about derm history, and wasn't aware. So do you think they got their reputation mostly based on years of continuous contributions to the field?

i would cream myself to match any of the top 5 x2 <My mentors have mentioned slightly different lists to me that they consider the top programs (though 3-4 of those always make the list), so it is all subjective. <<< Thanks for the input, good to know that they may not be as static as they seem
