Dermatology

Dermatology is an ideal specialty for those interested in treating a variety of skin diseases. Clinical work includes procedures and a high patient volume. Applicants should have demonstrated dedication to the Dermatology community. Dermatology is coveted as one of the most competitive specialties to Match into, especially for International Medical Graduates (IMGs). Training in Dermatology is typically four years with one preliminary year in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, or a Transitional year and a 3-year advanced Dermatology program. While it is not impossible to get into a Dermatology residency program, those interested in Dermatology should start planning early. Residency candidates planning to pursue Dermatology will need to have extensive volunteer activity, research, preferably three strong Letters of Recommendation in Dermatology, and focus on making connections within this incredibly tight-knit field.
