Does anyone know if UTSW has a combined med/derm program? They're on the Med Derm Society website and are on the Combined Med/Derm Webinar but I don't see any info about a combined med/derm program
Thanks for asking this, ive also been wondering about this too

Current med-derm resident, I can't remember exactly - on last year's webinar I believe they were still waiting to open but I believe they were opening. There is a med-derm webinar across all programs 9/14 and we can ask them to confirm there! Registration link: https://northwestern.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_njVS_Xk4SbKqORD28fzWsg#/registration

Thank you! It's rare we hear from med derm residents on this sheet. Makes it hard for people interested to know what those programs are looking for. Doesn't help that all med derm programs are at top institutions lmao

geisinger and iowa. geisinger has lots of mohs and one of the best mohs matching track rates. Iowa does a lot of mohs as well and has a very strong program

UTSW had an interview slot on a saturday this year, rest of mine were weekdays only (generally only 1 or a couple days per program)--> so if I have 10 interviews wont I fail the FM rotation because I'll miss so many days?

Y'all who's gonna start the convo re what schools are best to do aways at? :Z open to hearing opinions. Some schools have stopped gauraunteeing IIs to away candidates, others have begun to prioritize internal/away candidates much more... what yall think? :)
Rush interviewed everyone who did an away this year, didn't happen previous years but thought it would be helpful to know! Great program!

i do not rec OSU, it is an awful away. rude faculty, rude residents. you will be miserable. easy away to get but occupy your time with another school

< echoing this. they interview all rotators but they are an interesting bunch..

I think the top program that guarantees an interview if you do an away is Miami. But they only take 4-8 rotators per year so if you get one you can be pretty well assured they like your app. They usually match 1-2 away rotators also despite having 30+ internals per year. Emory also guarantees an away. As does Tulane. Some texas programs do as well

TEA TIME ANSWERS PLS: Can we talk about the massive exodus/restructuring of high-profile faculty from top institutions over the past 6 months? Like Harvard literally spread its seed all of the eastern seaboard, everybody leaving was being made chair/PD of everything. I'm overexaggerating a bit but still, very surprised, it almost feels like a conspiracy uwu
Also UTSW, columbia

so if you have derm1+ TY1, followed by derm1 + TY2, etc thats two ranks? and depedning on all the iterations its easy to get past 20 ranks?
Feb 21
0
oh goodness i have no idea what's going on
Feb 21
0
no. Each derm rank counts as its own mini "rank list". Let's say Penn is your number one derm program. You would rank Penn + TY 1, Penn + Ty2, and Penn + TY 3, as your "number one". It's like having your ranks as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3. I hope this makes sense? It's hard to put it into words
Feb 21
0
yes!! that makes sense thank you!
Feb 21

sure thing! your prelim/TY rank list can also change with every program. You manually create a new prelim/TY list from scratch with every derm rank, so you can change it as you see fit (for example, if you match on the west coast for derm, you can try to match at a west coast prelim. and, if you were to match at Penn, you can try to maximize your chances of getting a prelim in Philly, etc)

oh my god i'm gonna have to make an anki card out of this
Feb 21

Also confused - do you only partial match a TY/Prelim if thats all you put? For example, if my list is: derm1+TY1, derm1+TY2, is it still possible to ONLY match partially to the prelim or do i explicitly have to rank TY1/TY2 independently without derm? I am also a dual app so how would I fall down to my second specialty at that rate?
Feb 21
0
if you want the option of still matching at a pgy 1 ONLY in the event that you don't match derm, you have to rank the prelims/TYs. You won't automatically match at one without ranking it. You can rank them in any order
