DIG 2022 Match Panel Recap

 We had a very successful DIG Match Panel as many of our members attended this online webinar. 

There were three main categories for questions. The following is a general summary of the advice our matched seniors provided.

 

Research (How did you get involved)?

-Make sure to reach out to faculty and resident, upperclassmen can help too

-With the annual TDS spring and fall conference, it would be appropriate to ask for research opportunities around that time period

 

4th year scheduling (How should I modify my schedule)?

-Interviews are held normally from December-January, make sure you leave that time free in order to attend interviews

-When scheduling away rotations, coordinate with your classmates to make sure your schedules don’t overlap

 

The Match process (What is it like)?

-The Match process is difficult, but you can do it!

-Make sure to coordinate your dermatology program as well as your prelim/transitional year so you can match into both!

-Networking and having mentors will help and make the process much more manageable
