Does a PGY1 Preliminary Internal Medicine Prepare Dermatology Residents Better for COVID-19 Care in Hospitalized Patients?
Yes, according to a recent publication from NYU Dermatology (Journal of Drugs in Dermatology 2020;19(9):905-906. Their survey found that a preliminary PGY1 better prepared future dermatology residents for deployment to inpatient wards (p=0.04) and the ICU (p < 0.001) for the care of COVID-19 patients. The authors suggest that the PGY1 year for dermatology residency should be reviewed, and write “Certainly, the practice of foregoing more robust internal medicine training in favor of less rigorous internship experiences should be questioned.”

Are Publications by Medical Students Predictive of Future Academic Productivity?
An August 2020 publication in JAAD (83:624-626) from the University of Pennsylvania suggests that first author publications, more publications, and publication in high-impact journals were most predictive of future academic productivity. Surprisingly, it was found that large numbers of preresidency case reports was negatively associated with future academic productivity. The authors suggest that residency programs should place greater emphasis on “…greater impact research projects…” to identify and recruit future academic dermatologists.

New Suggestion Box at Victory Lakes Dermatology Clinic
The UTMB Department of Dermatology provides a locked suggestion box in Galveston where residents may place anonymous comments for review by the faculty as requested by the residents. A new locked suggestion box has recently been placed in the League City Victory Lakes dermatology clinic because many dermatology residents split their time between the two campuses. Dr. Lindy Ross will monitor the suggestion box in League City.
