We are thrilled to unveil the results of this year’s Match for the University of Washington Department of Dermatology!

Please join us in welcoming our newly-matched dermatology residents; Fatuma Rinderknecht, MD, Alejandro Candelario, MD, Tessa Dignum, Ning McKenzie, and Beth Pecha.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to our faculty, residents, and staff who put so much time and energy into the residency selection process this year.

Collectively, our Selection Committee reviewed nearly 250 applications, and interviewed 39 candidates. Our residents participated in three Candidate Meet and Greet sessions where they answered questions and offered guidance. Staff were behind the scenes organizing the reviews and interview days, creating summary sheets, and moving candidates around on interview days. It takes a village, truly, and we are so grateful to all of you!
