Procedural Dermatology (Mohs Micrographic Surgery) Fellowship Match

The Fellowship Match for Procedural Dermatology (Mohs Micrographic Surgery) Fellowship Match was established in 1995. Its goal is to coordinate fellowship appointments, thus relieving the pressure of uncoordinated appointments and forced early choices. The participating programs will not make any appointments until the match has been completed.

Sponsorship

The American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS or “College”) sponsors the matching process and is responsible for enforcement at applicable rules. The Matching office does not sponsor or approve any of the participating programs. The function of the Matching Program is strictly limited to processing of the match. Listing or not listing any program in the directory does not imply any form of approval, disapproval or endorsement. The decision to be listed or not rests solely with each individual Program Director.

NOTE: All programs participating in the match must be approved for such participation either by ACMS or the ACGME and no program may accept a match for a fellowship candidate without having obtained such approval. The applicant is responsible for confirming the ACGME accreditation status prior to applying and interviewing with a program. Not all positions listed in the match are approved by the ACMS for subsequent membership application in the College. Please confirm College-membership eligibility of the program with the Program Director and by reviewing the new fields in the Director listing entitled “Approved by ACMS or ACGME” and “Positions eligible for membership.” Programs approved by the ACMS or ACGME are approved for College membership. Positions eligible for College membership equals the number of fellows per year allowed in that particular program by the College or the ACGME. This number may be different than the number of fellows hired by a program, and may impact the College-membership eligibility of one or more of the fellowship positions in the program. Applicants are encouraged to review the Match Rules section of this Web site as well as the Mohs College Match Policy.
