Our aim is to maximise the efficiency of your preparation
Dermatology is the most competitive of the medical specialties with high competition ratios and increasingly well-prepared candidates. We are dermatologists who have jumped through this daunting hoop and want to demystify the process.
Applying to a specialty may be one of the most important decisions and investments you make in your life. To get into your first-choice location, you need to score as highly as possible.
Success: It’s your call
Of all the components of your ST3 application, many will already be set in stone e.g. your undergraduate performance, experience of specialty etc.
DermCoach gives you the competitive edge which can ultimately make the difference between getting in or not. When taught appropriately, clinical dermatology is easy, fun and rewarding. We have gone back to the drawing board to produce a range of dynamic courses to simplify the process.
- Your interview performance, on the other hand, is one of the few factors that you can STILL CHANGE at this point.
- We have adopted a data-driven approach to designing our resources.
- We have conducted extensive quantitative research with consultant dermatologists who sit on the interview panels. These are the people who assess your performance for real and these insights can help optimise your interview score.
Our process
Back to basics
Before embarking on course design, we start from square 1. We challenge assumptions and established wisdom such that our courses are fundamentally robust. We don’t assume prior knowledge of participants – this means that you can walk in with no preparation yet be equipped to learn.
Meticulous research – data is king
We don’t accept the status quo. Our offerings are informed by extensive research and are refined for each course presentation. This means that we’re delivering pure unadulterated facts with the most important updates in the field being brought to you.
Accessibility
Accessibility is our watchword.
We don’t luxuriate in using long words when a short one will do. We focus on what matters we don’t waste time on the dubious that can’t be evidenced.
