#34002025–2026 DermMar 20

Mar 20

Mar 21

yale derm is a horrible department that doesnt know how to support their applicants

Mar 21

dont they have a history of incestual matching too

Mar 21

What makes you say that yale doesn't support its applicants, do you go there? Ive heard there's a ton of derm research and mentorship.

Mar 21

yikes if they had that bad of a match

Mar 21

I was told they have 12 internals

Mar 21

some of them pulled out late so it's 9

Mar 21

pulling out late means they didn't match lol, so 4/12. bad look on YSM lmaooo

Mar 21

Mar 21

#25102024-2025 DermMar 16

Mar 16

Wanted to see if anyone did an away at the following institutions and has heard anything about them: UCSD, Brown, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, UTSW

#24752024-2025 DermMar 16

Rotated at UTSW and could not have had a more amazing experience. They offer 3 tracks: rheum derm, vulvar derm, and dermpath (this may have changed). All tracks give you experience at general Parkland clinics. Residents are a major, major strength of this program - they went out of their way to be welcoming and treat you as peers/equals. Faculty are some of the foremost experts in their respective fields. Tons of opportunities to see patients on your own, present, and write notes. Everyone has their own unique experience, but myself and my co-rotators did not experience ANY of the negative things highlighted in the shame tab. Dr. Mauskar specifically went out of her way to be welcoming and kind.

As a current MS3 rising MS4 in Texas, I know a lot of Texas programs favor Texas residents. Besides UTSW are there other Texas derm programs that are considered workhorse programs?

#23772024-2025 DermMar 16

So surprised people ranked these following programs pretty low: BU, Colorado, USC, Brown, UTSW, Mayo, WashU, Case, UT Houston, Utah << although I ranked UT Houston 2nd, I can understand their ranking

#21372024-2025 DermMar 16

Can more of the 70+ UTSW folks enter their ranks? I'm intrigued about something

#21072024-2025 DermMar 16

How many peeps were interviewed for UTSW Gen derm track yall think?

#20922024-2025 DermMar 16

:Suprised not as many people ranked UTSW #1, guess Dallas is a detractor

#20712024-2025 DermMar 16

Thoughts on UTSW and Dallas? Asking because I'm an east coast lifer and have not been to texas once in my life lol. Worrying about cultural adjustment and also the weather

#19262024-2025 DermMar 16

UTSW vs Yale derm? Thoughts? < Outcomes will be similiar, research and clinical training seemed stronger at UTSW, but vibes at Yale were definitely better

#18912024-2025 DermMar 16

Can someone share the link to the recording of Dr. Mauskar at UTSW that was circulated on Reddit, the one someone is sending to the APD and WDS

#15372024-2025 DermMar 16

Has UTSW sent out their ALL interview invitations? or only internal iv s?

#11992024-2025 DermMar 16
