Applicants

Dear Applicants,

Thank you for your interest in the Harvard Combined Dermatology Residency Program.  We look forward to reading your application.

Again, this year, our interviews and recruitment session will be held virtually.  We know that these constraints make it difficult for you to get to know our program.  Therefore, we will hold an informational webinar on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 7:30pm EST.  Also, please take some time to review our website and our Welcome Handbook to find out if our program is the right fit for you.

Our program, Harvard Medical School, and all of our affiliate hospitals do not discriminate with regard to sex, race, age, religion, color, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status. Every completed application is reviewed; we do not exclude applicants based on type or location of medical school, USMLE scores, or research training.  At present, we are not accepting applicants who have completed previous residency training beyond internship with the exception of internal medicine or pediatrics.

We utilize a holistic review process that takes into account all aspects of the application, with a special emphasis on clinical performance, leadership, and community service.  We recognize that applicants are offered varying degrees of opportunity based on their educational and personal circumstances, and embrace the diversity that brings to our applicant pool and our residents.   

We will be participating in the AAMC’s Supplemental Application program.  We are participating in the 2023-24 ERAS signaling program.
