Can we discuss the nepotism in derm? Specifically, FAMILIAL nepotism. Is this really widespread?

#33752025–2026 DermMar 19

yes lol-> i mean obagi did not match so mixed with 271 step 2

it runs rampant. Know of people who have academic derms in their family and they got multiple IIs and matched, friends with basically identical CVs/step/pubs got fewer IIs and/or didnt match.

The tricky part is that the advise, we are all given is to play the connection game. Individuals with family members in derm just by default have connections (and can get more).

I feel like I know of a couple med influencers from Howard who didn’t match. Seemed like Howard was only able to match 3 home students to their own program, and no where else

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.
