PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS
Rotation Description: Each rotator will be granted a 2-3 day rotation at one of our outpatient clinics. Rotators are required to have passed the USMLE Step 1/Comlex 1 exam. There is a fee associated with the rotation. Your interview will be conducted on site during your rotation. You will be asked to complete a short five minute presentation on a topic in dermatology.
Applicant Details: We accept applicants who are MDs, DOs, and IMGs. We only accept individuals who are applying to dermatology during the current cycle (i.e. fourth year medical students and PGY-1s who did not match). We do not allow MS3 rotators. We do not allow rotators who are applying for different specialities (not dermatology). We do not accept applicants who have completed other residency programs (of any type). We only allow individuals who will complete or have completed a transitional year for their PGY-1 year. If you are a PGY-4 applying, please make sure you apply to transitional year programs.
If you are a MS3/OMS3 interested in applying for a dermatology away rotation as a fourth year medical student for the 2025-2026 application cycle you can complete our application by clicking here. The application will open December 1st 2024.
Our program accepts applications through ERAS but are required to attend an audition rotation to be considered for a position. Our program does not take ERAS ‘signaling’ into account.
Please note you will need the following to complete the application:
- a) Class rank (if applicable)
- b) GPA (if applicable)
- c) CV
- d) Copy of all board scores (Including USMLE Step 2/Comlex 2 if you have taken it)
- e) Photo of yourself (consider using your ERAS headshot)
Research Fellowship: We have a one year unpaid fellowship that is a post-match position. It is not something you can apply for. It is selected by our PD after the match. You must have completed a PGY-1 Transitional Year to be eligible, and you must have rotated with our program. After completion of this fellowship, you will be strongly considered for a PGY-2 spot with our program the following year.
If you have any questions regarding the above please email: dermatologylarkin@larkinhospital.com.
Our program only accepts applications through ERAS and applicants are contacted through ERAS for interviews.
