Residency Selection Process

For the 2024 ERAS cycle, the Vanderbilt Department of Dermatology Residency Program will participate in signaling. The department participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and uses the American Association of Medical College's (AAMC) Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) as the primary source of resident applicants. 

We are open to the ABD's Investigative Training Track and encourage those residents interested in a research career to apply to our program. Please indicate your interest, as well as potential fit with our broader medical center's research and resources, in your personal statement.

When conducting and participating in virtual interviews, the residency and fellowship programs at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) want all participants in the interview process to have the best experience possible.  We recognize that candidates want to present their best and any type of recording during this process may add undue stress to the process. 

We would like to agree that neither party (program or candidate) record nor distribute any part of any interview conducted on a virtual platform (e.g., Zoom, WebEx, Skype, etc.). This includes, but is not limited to, screenshots, still photos, audio and video recordings. Please direct any questions to the program director.
