Is the UCLA medstar program only available for MD/PhDs? < https://www.uclahealth.org/dermatology/residency-program: "The STAR program provides physician-scientists entering our program with combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees a comprehensive clinical training integrated with a post-doctoral opportunity." In the Derm residency program itself, it seems to be the case, yes.

For Georgetown Med star derm program, do we have to rank internal medicine prelims to match the program? The website is a little confusing and on the applicant page it says you need to do an internal medicine preliminary but it wasn't mentioned on interviews and on the main page of the residency program they said any post graduate 1 year education is fine. I might just be over thinking this whole thing < current georgetown student, you can do a TY or prelim but like most derm programs they prefer a prelim year :)

just saw a conversation on the x vs y sheet I actually want to continue here because i want to hear more about how other urm students see it. I am black and I personally will not train in a program with zero to one black resident no matter how many black faculty they have; in fact if you have super star derm faculty like Penn/Harvard does or a lot of black/urm faculty like UTSW and no black resident or one black resident is is more of a red flag to me than if you had none because either the program is so toxic they gatekeep black students, or the black faculty are enjoying being the only ones that they are not helping recruit more or they are just waiting to someone else trains us and then you hire us because so few people want to do academia. Yes I know diversity is not only in the number of black residents but that is what this post is about and i was wondering how other urm students see/analyze this.
