#dermresidency #derminterview #dermresidencyinterview Tips on the things you shouldn't say on your derm interview (some tips also applicable to other residency interviews as well).
I am a foreigner medical student in Europe...my dream is to become dermatologist..every single person I come across tells me I cannot do residency in dermatology in USA.I willing to do everything.. However all this opinion discourage me.What is your point of you?
It is harder to match residency as an IMG but not impossible. Realistically it is hard for an American graduate to match derm so it would be even harder for IMG. Tips that I got from a program director include getting research, connecting with post graduates in your Med school who successfully matched in America and getting advice from them, networking with docs in America, consider doing a research year(s) in America. Its easier to match once you’re in America than when you’re abroad. I’m hoping to have IMG guest speakers next month to touch more on this topic.
Idk what would be an appropriate answer for “why dermatology” bc most are going into it bc they have amazing scores and they can….. unless you have a specific subspecialty in mind like working with burn victims or oncology or mohs idk
