All complete applications are personally reviewed by at least two Penn dermatology faculty. Faculty review the complete application for each candidate, and Penn dermatology does not screen ERAS applications based on USMLE scores, AOA status, geography, or other criteria.

Please Note:  Doing a rotation at Penn Dermatology, while providing an excellent educational experience and exposing the student to the department and faculty, does not in any way guarantee that an interview will be offered to the rotator should they apply for a Dermatology Residency training position at Penn.  We read and review all applications that we receive and, due to the number of excellent applications, cannot interview everyone. Even exceptionally qualified candidates may not receive an interview.

Important: Supplemental Questionnaire for all applicants applying through ERAS
