Dermatology Residency Interview Day

Dermatology Residency Olympics 2025
It’s all fun and games at Derm Olympics!

Program Director welcome

Welcome to the Dartmouth Dermatology Program! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about what makes our residency program unique. Our program prides itself on creating a supportive residency environment with a strong continuity clinic and procedural experience. We enjoy the benefits of a rural community as well as a large patient catchment area which supports our strong academics with numerous specialty clinics as well as research opportunities. We value the strong team based culture of our department and perpetually strive to create a work environment that provides exceptional clinical care and training, supportive mentoring and maintains wellness for all members of the department. As program director, I enjoy meeting each new resident, learning about who they are and how they see their career evolving. Throughout their residency, we work together to craft the road map to becoming the dermatologist they’d like to be. I hope this information is helpful in learning more about our program and look forward to learning more about you as well.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Program Coordinator, Kelly Prouty.

Program Director, Dermatology Residency

Interview day overview

During your interview day, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with our faculty, residents, and program leadership to learn more about what makes our program an exceptional place to train—and the Upper Valley a wonderful place to live.

We’re offering two interview dates for you to choose from: Wednesday, January 21, and Thursday, January 22, 2026. Each date includes both a morning and afternoon session. Please RSVP for your preferred date and session through Thalamus.

  • Morning sessions: 8:20 am to 12:55 pm
  • Afternoon sessions: 11:20 am to 3:45 pm

You’ll meet with eight groups of faculty members, first-year residents, and our chief residents. Each interview will last 13 minutes, with two minutes to wrap up conversations and move to your next interview.

A sample interview schedule (PDF) is available to give you an idea of what to expect on interview day. Your personalized schedule will be released approximately one week before your interview and can be viewed within Thalamus.

Interviews will take place at the Dartmouth Health Heater Road building, located at 18 Old Etna Rd., Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Join the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Dermatology Residents for happy hour

We’re excited to invite you to join our current dermatology residents for a casual happy hour at a local restaurant! This is a great opportunity to relax, get to know our residents, and hear firsthand what it’s like to live and train here at Dartmouth Health.

You can choose to attend on either:

  • Tuesday, January 20th at 5:30 pm EST, or
  • Wednesday, January 21st at 5 pm EST

Our residents are looking forward to meeting you, answering your questions, and sharing their experiences in both the program and the Upper Valley community.

Please RSVP for an event within Thalamus. Applicants only, no guests please.

Attending a happy hour is not mandatory and will have no bearing on our ranking.

Match policy and resident security and background clearance protocols for Veterans Affairs

The Department of Veterans Affairs is enhancing its security posture by strengthening credential and vetting practices per Federal guidelines. As we understand it, in addition to the fingerprint and law enforcement Special Agreement Check (SAC), which will still be required, health professions trainees will be subject to additional suitability checks that vary based on citizenship status. For additional information, please see the National Resident Matching Program website.

Policies and Agreement

The ACGME and NRMP require that each applicant to an accredited residency program be provided with the institutional policies regarding eligibility requirements and selection process along with a sample copy of the current resident/fellow agreement of appointment in force during interview season.

Please familiarize yourself with each of the documents linked below. You will be asked to sign off indicating you received a copy of these policies and documents, as your signature is a requirement to be eligible for ranking.
