Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...
Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...
Rapid Identification of Pathogens01:25

Rapid Identification of Pathogens

MALDI-TOF MS has transformed clinical microbiology by offering a rapid and reliable method for pathogen identification. The traditional approach to microbial identification typically involves time-consuming culture techniques and biochemical tests, which can delay the initiation of appropriate antimicrobial therapy. MALDI-TOF MS avoids these delays by using characteristic ribosomal protein mass patterns of microbial cells, enabling accurate species-level identification within minutes.Principle...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Residency Admissions
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Dermatology is a highly competitive U.S. residency specialty.
  • The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 transitioned to pass/fail scoring in 2022.
  • Preference signaling and interview caps were also introduced, impacting the application process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze dermatology residency application trends from 2022-2025.
  • To assess the impact of USMLE Step 1 pass/fail transition and other changes on application metrics.
  • To identify shifts in applicant characteristics and experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of the Texas STAR database (2018-2025).
  • Focused on dermatology applicants during the 2022-2025 cycles.
  • Analyzed application numbers, USMLE Step 2 CK scores, research, leadership, honors, and research year participation.

Main Results:

  • Mean applications per applicant significantly decreased post-2023 (82 to 29).
  • USMLE Step 2 CK scores and clerkship honors remained stable.
  • Research publications and leadership experiences showed a modest decline post-2023.

Conclusions:

  • Dermatology applicants are submitting fewer applications and reducing research/leadership activities.
  • These trends correlate with structural changes like USMLE Step 1 pass/fail and preference signaling.
  • Academic performance metrics (Step 2 CK, honors) remain consistent, highlighting their continued importance.
