Preresidency Publications Predictive of Academic Dermatology Career

The July 2018 issue of JAMA Dermatology contained a Research Letter (154:844-846) from Harvard Medical School that analyzed the careers of dermatology residents certified by the American Board of Dermatology in 2015. It was found that dermatologists with advanced academic degrees were more likely to enter academic dermatology. Dermatologists who had 2 or more preresidency publications indexed in PubMEd were more likely to enter academics compared to those with 0 or 1. Dermatologists with 4 or more dermatology PubMed residency publications were also more likely to be found in an academic career 2 years after dermatology residency completion.
