Applicants discuss WVU's interview logistics, scheduling, and position availability, with some confusion about the exact number of spots offered (2, 3, or 5). Most posts are administrative in nature regarding interview coordination and spreadsheet management, with limited substantive program feedback. One comment makes a joking reference to dermatology matching at WVU during COVID.

Fame & Shame

2025–2026 Derm

1 entry

❌1. Chair was completely unprofessional during the interview. He had a broken leg, so I understand taking the interview from bed, but attitude was rude and cold and would challenge everything I said. Considering the interview is when faculty/chairs are supposed to be on their best behavior as well, I would not like to see his behavior day to day.

Can we make a list in the cell to the right of places whose derm interview automatically counts as your interview for a prelim/TY year too?

#28292025–2026 DermFeb 21

Penn State, Northwestern, Yale (kind of), Georgetown, Ohio State, Brown, Cleveland Clinic, UPMC, UTHSC (tennessee), Zucker/Northwell, Emory, Mizzou, WVU, Dartmouth

Feb 21

wait I didn't know about Northwestern, are we sure?

Feb 21

northwestern med derm counts for prelim.

Feb 21

Penn state does??

Feb 21

yes Penn state does, presented to us on interview day

Feb 21

what about northwestern regular Derm/peds derm> NW med derm counts for advanced derm NW position + med derm position. NOT prelim. You can ask to be considered for categorical IM, but that was not guaranteed by just applying.

Feb 21

Exact wording: "We are very excited to welcome you to the Northwestern University combined Medicine-Dermatology interviews, which also serves as interviews for either the categorical Medicine and/or advanced Dermatology tracks, if you have applied to either of those Northwestern programs. "

Feb 21

northwestern med derm counts for prelim.

#35592021-2022 DermMar 21

Random but did anyone else interview at WVU and had any thoughts on the program? I remember liking it when i interviewed but It was in december and I didn't write down too much to figure out how to rank them...

#34582021-2022 DermMar 21

I'm sorry I know there is a tab for this already, but if anyone is able to do Dec 17th date for WVU instead of Dec 10 please let me know! I can't do the Dec 17th and really want to be able to do this interview. Thank you!
