DERMATOLOGY · APPLICATION CYCLE 2026–2027
Track your Dermatology residency applications — every program, signal, and interview.
Dermatology carries the largest signal allowance of any advanced specialty in CycleDoc's directory — 28 total, per AAMC, though only 3 are gold, so most of that budget is standard-tier. 144 Dermatology programs across 42 states are in the directory; like most advanced specialties, expect to manage a separate preliminary-year application alongside your Dermatology list, both on the same NRMP calendar.
Built by a former residency director of medical education and core faculty member who read thousands of applications.

DERMATOLOGY SPECIFIC
Dermatology's signal allowance (28) is much larger than most specialties'. Why?
AAMC sets each specialty's allowance independently, and CycleDoc's directory only reports the sourced number — 28 total, 3 gold — rather than the reasoning behind it. What that split means practically: most of your budget is standard-tier, so treat the 3 gold signals as your genuine top choices and spend the rest more freely.
