Other Information
I'M CURRENTLY A DERMATOLOGY RESIDENT AT A U.S. NAVY RESIDENCY PROGRAM. After graduating medical school on a HPSP military scholarship and completing internship, I served "the fleet" for a few years as a naval flight surgeon (aka flying GMO). In 2005, I applied to both military and civilian Dermatology residency programs. At the time of my application, I had 1 derm publication, 2 non-derm publications, and 1 CPC presentation at a regional derm conference.

Match Experience
I'M CURRENTLY A NAVY DERMATOLOGY RESIDENT. The 2 U.S. Navy Dermatology Residency Programs (NCC in the greater Washington DC area, NMCSD in San Diego) traditionally only accept military physicians that have completed an internship and "served the fleet" (either with the Navy or Marine Corps) for AT LEAST 2-years as a general medical officer (GMO) or 3-years as a flight surgeon or dive medical officer. This is in contrast to the Army which accepts most of its dermatology residents straight out of medical school. The Air Force is somewhere in-between Army and Navy policy. As I stated above, I applied to both military and civilian dermatology residency programs. I interviewed at both Navy programs. As for my civilian application, I applied to over 60 programs and ended up with 14 civilian interviews (including 2 from Ivy League Schools). During the time of my application, I found it interesting that current 4th year med students with similar or better stats than me got fewer interviews. I believe my unique military experience set me apart from the rest of the applicants and this got me many of my civilian interviews. In the end, I accepted a Navy Dermatology Residency because I thought it was the best program for me and my family.
