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

On your interview day you will have a chance to interact with faculty, residents, and program leadership to get a sense of what makes our program a great place to train and the Upper Valley a great place to live.

As we are virtual, we will be using the platform WebEx to interact and interview. WebEx is similar to Zoom.

There are 2 interview days for you to choose from, Thursday, January 16 or Friday, January 17. There are three session choices on Thursday and one session choice on Friday. Please RSVP for your preferred date and session within Thalamus. 

  • Thursday, January 16, 2025:

    • 10:10 am to 12:15 pm EST
    • 12:55 pm to 3 pm EST
  • Friday, January 17, 2025:
    • 7:55 am to 10 am EST

The day will start with a welcome session with our Program Director, Dr. Fragoso.

Next you will interview with 6 groups of faculty members, first year residents and our chief residents. All interviews will last 12 minutes with a 3-minute break in between.

Please view the sample interview schedule (PDF) to see what the interview day will look like. Your individual interview schedule will be sent approximately 1 week before your interview and will be available for viewing within Thalamus.

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.
