Plastic Surgery vs. Dermatology Residency
/
Plastic Surgery and Dermagology residencies are still hot. In fact, they're getting hotter as more young doctors look at the options available to them after graduation.
According to a recently released report, plastic surgery and dermatology are the most competitive specialties among medical students awaiting appointments to residency programs, reports the New York Times.
According to a report by the Washington-based Association of American Medical Colleges and the National Resident Matching Program, only 61 percent of seniors at American medical schools whose first choice was dermatology received a residency in that field last year. Compare that figure with 98 percent for those seeking internal medicine and 99 percent for family medicine.
