Update on the 3 Different Dermatology Residency Tracks Offered at UTMB for the 2026 Dermatology Match

Applicants should be aware that UTMB Dermatology has decided not to offer a Categorical 2+2 Dermatology Residency in the 2026 NRMP, but instead will offer the same training as an Advanced (PGY2) 2+2 Dermatology Position that will be linked to a PGY1 year in the UTMB Department of Internal Medicine. The total number of years training at UTMB will be 5, that includes the PGY1 year in UTMB Internal Medicine and the 4 year 2+2 UTMB Dermatology Residency Investigative Track. It is listed as Dermatology/IM with the Program Code 1714080A2 in the NRMP.

 

UTMB will also offer 6 Advanced Track positions that are 3 year dermatology residencies that begin in July 2027, but the prerequisite PGY1 year may be taken at UTMB or in other programs.

 

In addition, UTMB will offer 1 Advanced Track position for applicants who will have completed their PGY1 position for the 2+2 UTMB Investigative Track Dermatology Residency that will begin in July 2026.
