Dermatology "March Madness"
Yes, it's now officially March and time for the annual dermatology practice boards sponsored by the American Board of Dermatology. Every year participating programs offer their dermatology residents the practice board for dermatology knowledge assessment. Released scores let each resident taking the test and their program know how they tested compared to the same PGY level of dermatology training across participating programs. Doing well on the practice boards usually predicts success on the certification exam that dermatology residents may take upon completion of their residency. This year the practice board is on Thursday, March 25th. UTMB dermatology residents are excused from clinics for the entire day in order to take this test in Galveston. The UTMB DIG wishes everyone good luck on their exam!
