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.

“Preference Signaling” for Residency Theory
One way for residency applicants to inform specific residency programs about their strong interest would be through “preference signaling.” All applicants applying to residency programs would be given a specific number of “tokens” that they could submit to programs where they had the greatest interest. It is possible that informing programs this way could result in a greater likelihood of an interview at that program. ENT will be piloting this program for the current academic year. If it works well for ENT applicants and programs, it is possible that other residency programs will participate next year.

Skin of Color Event Recap with Dr. Chinelo Ikpeama
Thank you to all those who attended our first skin of color event featuring Dr. Chinelo Ikpeama, UTMB Dermatology Residency graduate.
Dr. Ikpeama discussed "common things being common" in dermatologic practice. Examples included acne, rosacea, psoriasis, alopecia, hidradenitis suppurativa and other common diseases that appear differently in skin of color and/or present different complications and outcomes that trainees and practitioners should be aware of. Acne in skin of color is often complicated by severe post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). In fact, Ikpeama suggests that PIH is sometimes more common of a complaint than the acne itself, as darker skin is more prone to cosmetically disfiguring hyperpigmentation.
Furthermore, many skin of color patients often present with a chief complaint of hair loss, or alopecia. There are many variants of alopecia, including central cicatricial centrifugal alopecia (CCCA), traction alopecia, lichen planopilaris, androgenetic alopecia and more. Alopecia in skin of color is often complicated by late diagnoses, in which patients initially present with many destroyed hair follicles. Not only is it important to understand the prevalence of, and cultural aspects that lead to alopecia in skin of color communities, but it also important to gain patient buy-in by recommending biopsy and considering an aggressive treatment approach.
While these are only but a few examples of topics discussed by Dr. Ikpeama, understanding issues involving skin of color is essential in the establishment of adequate and diverse patient care. You can join the skin of color society (SOCS) to continue learning more about skin of color by visiting the following link.
