The unfilled "PGY-1" is actually a physician ONLY spot - that's how NRMP files it

So Mayo Clinic didn't fill its spots?

I can't think of any others and I interviewed at a good chunk of the southern programs

That's not what it shows on the list though? It shows 10 unfilled Derm PGY-2 and 1 unfilled PGY-1

Mar 23

not all unfilled programs choose to participate in SOAP

I don't know if any Derm program will actually do SOAP. They will take their sweet old time, and go beyond the end of the week. Trust me.
