For a good overview of dermatology interview
trends over the past 5 years, a new study published in the May 2019
issue of Dermatology Online Journal provides useful information to
current applicants in “Interview date trends for dermatology
residency from 2012-2017” (see
https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4pr742jj ). Highlights are that
over 80% of dermatology interview invitations were sent in November,
most interviews were scheduled for January (66.3%), and most programs
have 3 or less interview dates. Since most programs
interview on Thursdays and Fridays, overlapping interview dates from
competing residency programs result in applicants declining interviews,
with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th week in January being the most problematic.
The University of Texas Medical Branch Dermatology Interest Group (UTMB DIG) is a resource for medical students interested in Dermatology as well as for dermatologists and residents.
