Sentiment score: 3.2 / 10
Applicants report mixed experiences with Wayne State's interview process, including communication delays, confusion about interview logistics, and concerns about preferential treatment of internal/home applicants. The program appears to have ACGME accreditation warnings and is noted for having an early assurance derm residency program for its own medical students, though many applicants received rejections or did not advance in the interview process.

Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
7 entries✅1. clinic locations are varied (detroit, troy, dearborn); diverse patient population
❌1. 3/4/2026 9:01 PM: Bizarre faculty, Chair makes sure at least 1/2 people match that share his country background, PD is fake nice, not kind, only cares about his career.
“Wow. Looked it up and you're so right. The chair's ethnicity represents <0.1% of Detroit (~0.2% of US population), but makes up 34% of residents and faculty. The breakdown is 35% of residents and 33% of faculty. Thats staggering and far more than just coincidence.”
❌2. This description of PD is 100% accurate. A narcissist in its truest form, unfortunately difficult for unfamiliar applicants to detect. Creates a toxic, competitive atmosphere with nothing but bad vibes. Avoid Avoid Avoid
❌3. sus rank list
❌4. one incredibly questionable attending, nice overall though many residents do not like one another, attended a conference hosted by this program and med students were placed outside to guide attendees to the entrance in the freezing cold
💬1. see this years match list, two siblings matched with no derm research and are reapplicants, very sus and shady
💬1. see this years match list, two siblings matched with no derm research and are reapplicants, very sus and shady - Holy SHIT, just looked the two up. That's crazy.

not trying to start anything, just thought it was interesting that 2 siblings who are both re-applicants from Jefferson's med school both matched at Wayne State and don't seem to have much derm pubs or anything, at least from Googling
do we have to pick on individuals here :(

Do your prelim year, apply for a research fellowship you want for the year after, wait to reapply until you are in your research year. That is the recipe for success. You will substantiallly enhance your CV during the next year and a half and will have a whole new perspective on the process. Coming from a US IMG who did not match twice then got in, now about to be chief derm resident in my program. If it's what you want, make it happen! But what if you aleady did a RY?

Thoughts on UConn vs Wayne? Both programs that I'm not too familar with (OOS for both) - needed some help with ranking> I'd do Wayne over UConn
not OP but you could expand on why? UConn has better Mohs matches (UCLA, UF, etc.) although not sure if this is because there is more Mohs interest over there... interested to hear your thoughts
Feb 21
0
Mohs matches are not indicative of how good a program is. There are also people from UConn in prior years who went unmatched in Mohs
Feb 21

family? where are you from originally? priorities? vibes at tge two programs are very different
Feb 21
0
from the west coast (most family from there), both programs have mohs fellowship now, honestly just looking for good training and want to be a solid derm, may want to pursue mohs in the future - could you expand on vibes at the places and which you would rank higher?
Feb 21
0
As an away rotator at UConn, I can say that Dr. Feng (Mohs) had said he prefers to take people NOT from UConn internally as it's better to have more variety in trains of thought or w/e. Not sure if that will sway you. Otherwise, Wayne has more SOC, community family vibes between residents and faculty. UConn is semi-similar but there is an air of heirarchy there especially as an rotator...

Wasted a signal on Wayne State. Looks like they only take their own medical students.
Did they drop interviews..? Haven't seen anything

Just an FYI for future med students / premeds - NYU, Stony Brook, and Wayne State have early assurance derm residency for their med students that you apply to when you're applying to med school. If you get into the early assurance residency, med school bceomes accelerated and you can graduate in 3 yrs. (edit: NYU is now 3 yrs for all students)
NYU med school is now 3 years for all students with an optional fourth year for research. Maybe you should take an optional year of research to make sure your claims have some basis before you just start saying random incorrect nonsense
Feb 21

I'm sorry, I forgot that they went to a 3yr MD for all students! But the rest of my info still stands, including 3yr MD for Stony Brook early assurance derm. I don't understand where the vitriol is coming from? Just tryna keep everyone in the know.

Ok, and you corrected me, thank you? But maybe admit yourself into an anger management program. you're going to be a doctor ffs learn to communicate your ideas without being mean

Maybe they need an optional year of mental health lmaoooo. Did not know about NYU/Stony Brook, thanks for the fun fact!

pretty sure UMiami has this too? but could be wrong

I don't think so, derm isn't listed as an accelerated residency on their website: https://med.miami.edu/medical-education/medical-programs/accelerated-pathway/participating-specialties-programs

> wait, so if i am not a Stony Brook student but applied to their Derm program, i won't be looked at because of their own students in their "early derm assurance residency"? or is this a new program that just started?
Feb 21

no, stony brook reserves a derm spot for a med student starting their matriculation into medical school (they basically get a seat reserved for them before they even step foot into medical school). The other derm spots are open for anyone who applies during the regular ERAS cycle
Feb 21

gotcha

pretty sure historically every school has 1 spot for their own students, or MD-PHD or both. the rest of the majority tends to go to away rotators or ppl with very strong ties who interviewed well otherwise
Feb 21

I don't think most schools guarantee a spot for a med student who is M0 and hasn't even done med school yet. Only NYU, Stony Brook, Wayne State do this as far as I know. Most med schools do however make sure they take at least 1 home student during the regular ERAS cycle.

Any successful reapps to wayne state, that were interviewed without having to do an RY fellowship after graduation
Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
