Competitive Advantage of Medical School Academic Schedules
Several medical schools conclude their MS3 year
early, permitting students to take 4 week away dermatology rotations
during June. At other medical schools the MS3 year is not completed
until the end of June. These scheduling differences
may advantage students with one additional away rotation during the
dermatology residency application cycle because successful away
rotations appear to increase applicant chances of matching in these
programs.
DIGA Newsletter is Out!
DIGA’s Summer Newsletter has been published. This newsletter
includes research opportunities and advice for dermatology applicants.
DIGA is the largest national, non-profit student-run dermatology
interest group encompassing over 100 school. Mai-Anh Vu

newsletter. Congratulations!

Should I take a year off to do dermatology research before applying for residency?
Maybe. A year of dermatology research between the
MS3 and MS4 year is becoming a trend as competition increases for
residency positions. Funded positions are competitive and can
demonstrate a commitment to a dermatology career, in addition
for an educational opportunity to gain substantive dermatology research
experience. DIGA (Dermatology Interest Group Association) lists some of
the ones available at
