I'm also a derm resident! Love to see this! Derm is truly the best field, although I didn't know that until 3rd year of med school.

[@Sentient_Goose]

Congratulations!! I'm so impressed by the dedication and discipline that it takes to get that far. Just remember, love your patients. Be obsessed with them. Take fewer appointments in order to make human connections with people. It will all come back and be so rewarding for everyone.

[@danielsparks1848]

@@Sentient_Goose Taking fewer appointments is not necessarily a good thing. People need care and the fewer appointments we take, the longer individuals have to wait to receive the care that they need. It is important to establish a connection with your patients whilst making certain people are seen and taken care of.

[@dysplasiaanaplasia4128]

Absolutely amazing! Nerds are the biggest celebs of all time not a bunch of models nd actors. They have real knowledge to share not PR stunts...

[@amberj3941]

I think it would have been good to share the fact that most people who want to get into derm have to be about 10-15% at the top of the class. So even though you’re in Med school, it doesn’t always mean you will match into the specialty of your choice. It’s a really tough field to get into. I think it’s wonderful to have direction and things you love to do but to have Derm be your be all end all… it’s hard. Don’t be discouraged if you can’t get in.

[@jacklebeaver5442]

I agree with ur o[inion. But I also think having a second option means that your aren't really definite with your first and aren't as determined as you would be with only one option. Just my opinion.

[@mke_gal]

This match system really stinks :/ I’m not even in med school yet but I already fear not matching lol

[@mranderson1635]

@@mke_gal if you go to an American Med school you’re almost guaranteed a match so I wouldn’t worry about not matching. You may not match where or into the field you’re ant depending on scores primarily but you will match. If you’re from Caribbean school… we’ll just hope you killed your boards and you have a lot of connections otherwise it’s just a gamble

[@gloshiv2381]

@@mranderson1635 you seem like a great Person to ask this, I’m from Africa and will be attending a Caribbean med school (SGU). What Advice can you give on matching into a competitive specialty, everyone so far is telling me to rather retry for an American med school and that I’ll have no chance to match what I want with a Caribbean med school. And what did you mean connections, do you mean during med school or only after. Thank you...

[@mranderson1635]

@@gloshiv2381 SGU is the top Caribbean school, they even have some grads who got into neurosurgery that I personally have met which is amazing IMO. But they scored over 265 on their boards plus they had a lot of research and took some time off for that. The same person would not have needed to try as hard to get into neurosurgery had they got into American Med school. Also their family was all doctor, a lot of connections. If you’re from Africa the biggest factor next to your scores will be are you a US citizen or at least green card holder? If so, you can do generally pretty well from SGU and should match into any primary care specialty without problems. If you’re not US citizen or GC holder than you will be applying to visa accepting programs only, which makes things a lot harder as there are way more smart people applying for just those few spots compared to those who don’t require visas. Hope that helps

[@Gatatheringg]

Im a dermatolgy resident in Peru and we work 50 hours a week. In first year I worked 65 hours a week.

[@kimup]

There's no best or worst field/specialty in medicine. It really depends on what you are interested in and each individual's goal, or what you want to do for the patients.

[@61.urvijakunapareddy7]

Thanks to her for talking about the the research part for USMLE …I am a first year MBBS student from India aspiring to write USMLE and I didn’t know about that earlier

[@mranderson1635]

It’s pretty rare, but if you’re not American or coming from American Med school their are about less than 1% dermatology residency spots for non American US grads. Gen surg and IM are much more realistic to get into

What surgeries can a dermatologist perform? Does the surgery rotation for dermatology in US, teach residents about plastic surgery as well?

[@liv0003]

No, plastic surgery is another specialty. Dermatologists do mohs surgery, is a surgical technique used to treat skin cancer, that's it.

[@capnsean8365]

Laser surgery, cryo surgery, excisions (cysts, cancers, lipomas, ...) grafts, flaps, biopsies, trephinations, some do blephs, etc.

Some residency programs do what is called a transition year, meaning you’ll work as an intern in internal medicine or general surgery to get more background before entering your desired residency. A lot of programs have that built in!
