There are other factors that could have been taken into consideration when ease of access comes to mind. Since best students choose first, those with slimmer portfolios are usually left to fight for scraps. That being said, rural and far-away areas are as god choice as any for them. It’s not easy getting into dermatology residency these days. If you take a look at this page, you’ll see that as of 2015, dermatology is on the rise. Only 76% US seniors matched is still not a trend, but certainly breaks one from years past when more than 90% US seniors were able to get a match in dermatology. If this does become a trend, even residencies listed here might become more competitive in the future.
