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.

reapplicant here:( how can i see what programs had R spots available this past cycle? also does that change every year?>> Yup changes every year, there was approximately 7 or 8 when I submitted ERAS and maybe 4-6 that came out from start to end of cycle

#33492025–2026 DermMar 17

this year I think was UCSF, case western, midwestern, UTMB, puerto rico, larkin, pcom georgia, temple, mcg, utah - half of those came out halfway through the cycle

The ones from the start of the cycle: Lark S Miami (not real, reserved for the unpaid research fellow), Case Western, Midwestern, DCC-Flint, UTMB, PR, PCOM, Georgia. Later ones that came out but from the grapevines they only interviewed people that had already signaled earlier in the cycle and/or were reserved for internal as there wasn't any mention of new reapplicants that hadn't originally signaled getting IIs: UCSF, Temple, MCG, NYMC, Wayne State, Utah

For places with lots of internal applicants like UCLA and Wayne State.. do they even interview all of their internal applicants out of courtesy?

I wonder with things being virtual in terms of interviews, whether derm residency programs are now looking inwards and thus mainly recruiting from internal candidates (who they have known for a longer period of time over 4-5 years), unlike when you got to meet external candidates face to face in formal interviews. Case Western Derm matching mainly their own students at Case is very unusual and not at all in line with how they have matched Derm applicants in previous years and in the last two decades. Or maybe it's just possible they're being nicer and better to their home students.

people are just here to find echochamber to reinforce their bias without any evidence. << Probably true, although it doesn't really answer why certain derm residency programs that never used to recruit heavily from their internal home candidates are now suddenly doing that a lot more. < they could just be better candidates.... << And you think that wasn't the case in the past? I've matched so it's not really an issue for me, but I do think that future medical students (especially those who are maybe of lower income and don't have as many resources at their particular medical school) applying to Derm should be able to know if it's really worth taking the time to rotate at a particular place or applying to a particular program if they really don't have a chance of getting an interview or matching there.

Case western taking their own students is like an NFL scout picking students from LSU... why wouldn't top med schools feed into their own home programs? < Why the FUCK would you say LSU and not Alabama in this example? < What's the difference between the two? <<< To the OP, I guarantee you in past match cycles Case Western has gotten students from top tier med schools, so to use your analogy, they're actually dropping down, compared to before when they were clawing their way up in terms of matched Derm applicants.> Wayne state and UIC are not top med schools, maybe in the midwest << Case Western is a much higher ranked Derm residency program compared to UIC and Wayne State, due to their clinical & basic science research base. < what the fuck is the point of this comment. of course this is a true statement that has nothing to do with this discussion. im waiting on someone to tell me which harvard or yale student case western has matched recently. << Why are you so salty?<because someone is lying, distracting, and or all of the above to hide up observations about the case western match list and likely rank list that are not only true. but useful for future applicants. so obvious when this happens. << I have no idea why UIC and Wayne State were brought into the discussion.<those are med schools the residents from case western the last 4 years have come from. midwest schools. they take residents from midwest state schools they dont have harvard students interviewing there and ranking them high very often. that is useful to know. < Again, that's not been Case Western's recruiting process previously. They're not a state flagship. They've matched people coming from USC, Pitt, Harvard, Penn, etc. but stay salty and mad.

no one has shown proof of recent yale or harvard to case western residents. its not hard to pull up a link of someone online if this actually exists. if it exists it is a rare phenomenon and they probably had family in the area or something. why the heck else would you want to go to cleveland <<< This isn't criminal court. You can either believe it or not. No one cares.>again, just showing this spreadsheet is full of bad faith actors who dont really care to point out things that are helpful to most future applicants. if you are a midwest area student with strong credentials for dermatology application case western is probably a good target program for you. no one seriously looks at case western when they interview there and think shit do i not have a shot here because the 5 harvard and yale people are going to end up here over me. you do feel that way, however at other midwest programs sometimes.

anyone know why Medstar/Georgetown is under ACGME warning for probation? // The official term is "Continued Accreditation with Warning": Cook County Health and Hospitals System, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (Rochester), MedStar Health/Washington Hospital Center, Tufts Medical Center, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine/UCLA Medical Center, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Wayne State University School of Medicine. The only program that is on "Probationary Accreditation" is Rush University Medical Center.

Why do some programs have a due date of Oct 15? (i.e. Yale, Wayne State) > I feel like they just edited the month and not the date from last year and its wrong. They cant download anything before Oct 21 anyway so it cant even be due oct 15

#2132020-2021 DermMar 22

Some posts are shown because their comments mention this program.
