- Abstract
Dermatology residency continues to be one of the most competitive specialties, with a match rate of 84.7% in 2019. We surveyed 475 dermatology applicants who applied to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, during the 2018-2019 application cycle and 629 dermatology applicants who applied to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale; Rochester, Minnesota; and Jacksonville, Florida, during the 2019-2020 application cycle. The initial survey obtained application and demographic information. The follow-up survey obtained match data. The initial 2019 and 2020 surveys were completed by 149 and 142 dermatology applicants, respectively, and 112 and 124 applicants completed the respective follow-up surveys. Our survey finds that factors associated with matching included a higher US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 score, having a home dermatology program, and a higher number of interviews offered and attended. Some demographics had varying USMLE Step 1 scores but similar match rates.
