The Rush Dermatology Residency Program

The next opening in our dermatology residency program will be for two PGY-2 residents beginning July 1, 2011. We train a total of six residents annually. We participate in the NRMP Match which will take place in March 2010 for both the 2010 preliminary programs as well as the 2011 dermatology programs.

Per the American Board of Dermatology (ABD), some basic requirements for the Dermatology residency program include satisfactory completion of the (PGY-1) level transitional year, limited to Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Family Practice, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, or Emergency Medicine, at an accredited U.S. (or Canadian) medical school, approved by the Board, plus a valid, unrestricted license to practice medicine in the U.S.

The application process is facilitated on the ERAS website. Contact your local dean’s office for processing instructions and for an ERAS electronic token to access MyEras on the internet. The ERAS timetable is as follows:

MyEras Website opens to applicants to begin working on their applications	July 1, 2009
Applicants may begin applying to ACGME accredited programs	September 1, 2009
2011 Application period closes	November 1, 2009

Following the evaluation of completed applications, selected candidates will be invited for interviews which will take place on one Saturday in January of 2010, exact date to be announced.
