Mohs Exam Confusion
Will dermatology residents graduating in June 2025 be able to sit for the Mohs examination. This post on the ABD website seems to indicate that they will not be able to? Any insight?
Are candidates who earn initial general dermatology certification while the practice pathway is available also eligible to take the MDS Exam?Yes, if they meet all requirements to sit for the MDS Exam, which includes being able to truthfully attest to current active patient care in micrographic...

Chances for derm/psych?
Hi, I could really use some help right now. I'm a 4th year medical student (T25-ish school) who recently decided not to pursue a surgical subspecialty. I was wondering whether I had a chance at dermatology or psychiatry. It's late in the cycle and I would have to complete a dermatology sub-i this month if it was a possibility for me to match, if not I'll apply for psychiatry. I would honestly be very happy in either one.
Clinical grades: P/HP/H. P in peds/IM/surgery. HP in most other...

Do residents / fellows ever train in private practice settings?
M2 here considering dermatology. Given that dermatology is such an outpatient—and private practice—dominated specialty, do dermatology residents / fellows ever work in private practice? (i.e., rotate to a private practice for a few months during training)?
Or is all residency / fellowship only at the teaching hospital sponsoring the residency? I'm just thinking it doesn't really make sense to learn non-invasive cosmetic surgery, in the hospital, when most of it is practiced in private...

Superficial RT
Hi, I'm a radiation oncologist and fascinated with dermatology's foray into our world
Curious about something -
How/why would you bill a simulation (77280) charge every treatment and IGRT (G6001) for every treatment for a superficial lesion?
Is there a clinical need? Does the plan change daily?
I've treated with EBRT for years. We do one plan and no image guidance (well, we do use our eyes) and the outcomes are excellent.
Is there any literature that daily planning and IGRT improve...

Is hem/onc lifestyle comparable to derm?
Obviously one should not pursue either of these fields based on lifestyle, however I often hear about how dermatology has a great lifestyle since it can have a 4 day work week/400k a year/minimal call. However, it seems to me that this setup is also very possible and not uncommon in private practice hem onc. Am I incorrect? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Is the litigation risk in radiology overstated?
According to this NEJM study from 2011, the annual malpractice rate of radiology is slightly below the average of all specialties and only a few percentage points higher than fields like dermatology. I’ve never personally heard of a radiologist whose career was significantly impacted by litigation in any way. Yet I constantly hear about this as a drawback in rads...

Non-ACGME mohs fellowship credentialing?
Hello all,
Unfortunately, I did not match into an ACGME approved mohs fellowhsip but a non-ACGME program has accepted me as their new fellow. They have an awesome curriculum and I know I will come out as a great mohs surgeon. My only concern is that I would like to open a general dermatology clinic and treat my own mohs cases. Has anyone heard of issues getting credentialed/reimbursed by insurances that won't accept me as a non-ACGME fellow?
Thank you! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Academic Internships Insights for Small Animal Rotating
Hi! Sorry if this discussion has already been posted recently - I've not been keeping up with forums.
Just wanted to know if recent graduates of academic internship programs can give a review to the institution in which they did a small animal internship at. I'm a 4th year and looking to go into dermatology residency (unless I fall in love with something else haha)
Particularly I'm interested to know if:
1) you were happy(ish)? Were other interns happy? what about...
