The residency application process has been the subject of increased scrutiny, accelerated by pandemic-associated effects on undergraduate and graduate medical education. Within dermatology, several reforms have been implemented since the 2020-2021 application cycle, with ongoing work to improve the process for both programs and applicants. Multiple other specialties also have implemented changes, and there is ongoing collaboration across specialties to reform the residency application and selection process to ultimately create a more equitable and sustainable system.
