The Indelible Marks on Dermatology: Impacts of COVID-19 on Dermatology Residency Match using the Texas STAR Database

With changes to interview format and away rotations, the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the residency application process. In this retrospective cohort study of data from the nationwide Texas Seeking Transparency in Applications to Residency (STAR) survey, we sought to understand how the pandemic has impacted applicants in the 2021 dermatology Match. We compared applicants in the “post-COVID-19” Match year (2021) to “pre-COVID-19” Match years (2018-2020) regarding match rates, interview costs, residency geographic connections, and number of interviews attended.
