Summary of Dermatology Residency Interview Trends

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 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th week in January being the most problematic.

PGY4 Dermatology Resident Honored by UTMB AOA Chapter

Each year, UTMB's AOA chapter selects 2 residents through a member run nomination and voting process. This year, Dr. Kristin Wolf was selected by student AOA members for going above and beyond demonstrating teaching, volunteerism, and mentoring. This nomination has also made her eligible for official AOA membership.

Here are some comments that were said about Dr. Wolf during the nomination and voting process:  

"Dr. Wolf is one of the most kindhearted and intelligent residents I have ever met. She is the medical student coordinator for the dermatology department and is always willing to mentor any student that comes to her. She is constantly willing to teach and explain difficulty concepts in clinic, as well as stay late after hours to provide sage advice for applications. She has spent many hours after work reviewing personal statements and helping applicants be as competitive as possible. She is a true role model of the ideal resident, and a resident that I will strive to model my own behavior on in residency."  

"Dr. Kristin Wolf has been a wonderful mentor to medical students. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, whether in clinic or after work for advice for applications. She genuinely cares about medical student education and success, and is a shining example of how a resident should be." 

If you see Dr. Wolf before she completes dermatology residency at the end of this month, be sure to congratulate her on her achievement!

Please Help Us

The UTMB DIG Blog wants everyone in our community to learn about departmental news and events, especially new publications by our medical students, residents, and faculty. Although we try to post these academic achievements in a timely manner, some publications escape our notice. Please let us know when you have a new publication, and we will be happy to post about it on the UTMB DIG Blog.

UTMB Dermatology Publishes About Skin Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infections

 Congratulations to UTMB dermatology residents and faculty for their recently accepted and in press manuscript, “Cutaneous nontuberculous mycobacteria infections: A retrospective case series of 78 patients from the Texas Gulf Coast region.” It is available online at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0190962219306085?via%3Dihub UTMB coauthors are Drs. Rebecca Philips (formed UTMB dermatology resident and dermatopathology fellow), Paige Hoyer (incoming PGY2 dermatology resident in July 2019), Skyler White (UTMB PGY3 dermatology resident), Michael Wilkerson (Professor Dermatology), Bernard Gibson (Dermatology Chair ad interim), and Brent Kelly (Professor Dermatology and Director of the UTMB Dermatopathology Fellowship Program).

Program Preferences for Dermatology Applicants: Location, Location, Location!

A recent survey of 100 successful dermatology applicants about their program rank list preferences was published in the 2019 Volume 3, Number 3 of SKIN (“Factors influencing Dermatology Rank List Preferences Among Successful Applicants”), see https://www.jofskin.org/index.php/skin/article/view/599/pdf  Geography was the most important consideration for applicants ranking a program high (55%) or low (53%) on their rank list. The second most important reason for ranking a program high was previous rotation in the department (44%). Applicant perception of the quality of the departmental residents was the third most important consideration in ranking a program highly (39%). The second and third most important consideration for lower program ranking was potential program instability (33%) and work-life balance (31%). Although not mentioned in the survey, it would be interesting to know if program “rank to match” calls impacted applicant rank list.

UTMB Medical Students Publish in SKIN

Congratulations to UTMB medical students Tyler Marion and Jake Gibbons for their recent publication, “The Rose of Dermatology” about dermatology pioneer Dr. Rose Hirschler (1875-1940). Their comment appears in the “Compelling Comments” section of SKIN (2019, Volume 3, Number 3) https://www.jofskin.org/index.php/skin/article/view/359/pdf Following UTMB SOM graduation on June 1, 2019, and a preliminary medicine year at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas,  Dr. Marion will be starting dermatology residency at the University of Florida (Gainesville) in July 2020. Dr. Gibbons will start the categorical internal medicine program at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas in July 2019.

UTMB PGY3 Resident Publishes Article About Changes in Mohs Fellowship Training

The April 2019 (Volume 103) issue of Cutis has published an original article authored by UTMB PGY3 dermatology resident Dr. Julie Croley titled, “The Evolution of the Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology Fellowship.”

Congratulations Dr. Croley!

UTMB Dermatology Selects Dates for Internal and External Dermatology Applicants

UTMB Dermatology usually announces the dates of its dermatology residency applicant interviews well ahead to permit internal applicants and rotators scheduling interviews. The schedule for the 2020 NRMP dermatology interviews are:

Internal Applicants: Friday morning, January 24, 2020

External Applicants: Choice of Thursday morning, January 30, 2020 or Friday morning, January 31, 2020 (pre-interview dinner with UTMB dermatology residents will be held the evening before)

Invitations for rotators and other external applicants are usually sent in December. Last year UTMB received over 400 dermatology residency applications, and 30 outside applicants (including rotators) were invited for interviews.

Where did UTMB’s ACS (Ambulatory and Community Medicine Selective) Go?

 ACS, a former graduation requirement for MS4s at UTMB has been suspended for the SOM through the 2019-2020 academic year. The UTMB Selective website http://ar.utmb.edu/BSHSselectives/BSHSbrochure.asp displays the 

Ambulatory Community Selectives” link that now reads, “Sorry ACS brochure is no longer available.”  Currently a MS4 clinical elective must be taken to substitute for it. We hope that ACS comes back soon, at least as an option in the electives category. Previous UTMB medical students, including those now in dermatology residency, enjoyed working with community dermatologists in their offices and learning more about dermatology practice in the community setting.

UTMB PGY3 Dermatology Resident Leads Podcast About Social Media and Dermatology

 Congratulations to UTMB PGY3 dermatology resident Dr. Julie Croley for her recent podcast on the topic of the use of social media in dermatology. Dr. Croley leads the April 25, 2019 podcast discussion about “Resident takeover on social media in dermatology” with her two other Cutis “Residents Corner” participants  Elisabeth Tracey, MD (Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio) and  Daniel R. Mazori, MD (State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn). This podcast (07:14 to 40:25) is available at https://www.podcastrepublic.net/podcast/1402001193

Volunteers Needed for UTMB Dermatopathology Conference

UTMB will be hosting dermatology residents from around the state for a Dermatopathology Conference this Saturday (4/27/2019). If you are available, volunteers are needed to escort the guests from the parking lot to the main area where the conference will be held. Volunteers will arrive at 8:00 am and be expected to help out for 30 to 60 minutes. Breakfast will also be available for all volunteers afterwards. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Michael Ryan at mpryan@utmb.edu to sign up as well as for additional information.

“Risk of Not Matching” (Dermatology)

Yes, according to a recent JAMA Dermatology article about medical student applicants (2019; 155:137. doi:10.1001/jamadermatol.2018.3498) the “risk of not matching” may be a factor that discourages applicants from applying to dermatology. Due to less available dermatology residency positions than applicants, many excellent dermatology applicants remain unmatched each year. What should dermatology applicants consider? NRMP match statistics permit insight about the dermatology applicant pool for individual comparisons. Applicants should also consider their plan in the event of not matching into dermatology. Are they willing to take an unaccredited (but usually paid) dermatology clinical fellowship for several years in order to improve their research credentials in the hope of a future successful dermatology match? Or complete a primary care specialty with the hope of reapplying to dermatology (this strategy is less likely to be successful due to diminished Medicare Part B funding for a second residency). Some dermatology applicants who would prefer dermatology residency but are interested in other areas of medical practice as well may apply for a “backup residency” in case there is no dermatology match. 

Dermatology Award Trends at the National Student Research Forum

For the past two years, all dermatology awardees (podium and poster) have been studies. Case reports have not fared as well. While this annual conference remains a wonderful academic experience for participants, it appears that dermatology medical student research presentations are becoming more sophisticated, with the judges preferring studies over case reports.

UTMB MS3 Publishes Case Report in The Journal of Cutaneous Pathology

Congratulations to Michael Ryan (MS3) for his recent publication in The Journal of Cutaneous Pathology:
