Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

3 entries

1. Faculty are excellent clinicians and teachers. They are experts in a wide range of subspecialties (hair, oncoderm/ctcl, immunobullous, rheum-derm, cosmetics, procedural derm/lasers, peds derm etc) and seem well connected. Beautiful place to live in with access to top tier food and amazing beaches. Some of the clinics are the nicest I have seen. I rotated there and loved it. Every day was different because there was so much to see and so many faculty to work with. It could seem overwhelming at first, but it shows how much you will be able to learn and get exposed to during residency.

1. Long drive between sites, parking isnt free, and all that just to be treated like a scribe in clinic

💬1. Excellent training with exposure to many subspecialty clinics and attendings are great teachers. Matches well into fellowship. High volume clinics and exposure to wide range of pathology. Attendings have wide range of expertise. Location is beautiful and many of the facilities are very nice. Residents seem close > Also disagree with residents being treated as scribes, I did a rotation here and they all see pts independently and staff with the attendings just like at any other institution
