Do looks matter? The role of the Electronic Residency Application Service photograph in dermatology residency selection.

Further biases inferred from these photographs might be present in the dermatology selection process. We suggest blinding the selection committees to ERAS application photographs prior to granting residency interviews. PMID: 29906000 [PubMed - in process]
