ABSTRACT
Dermatology is one of the most competitive residencies for matching among medical school applicants. A strong connection with a residency program through research or clinical rotations may distinguish between similarly qualified applicants. Our previous study of research-mentor relationships among matched dermatology applicants corroborated the importance of program connections.1 However, the 2020-2021 residency match cycle was uniquely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented applicants from fostering connections with faculty at outside institutions. Our study objectives were to evaluate research-mentor relationships among matched dermatology applicants in the 2020-2021 pandemic match cycle with comparisons to pre-pandemic match cycles.
