Perfect Match

Secure Your Residency Spot & Achieve Greatness in Dermatology

About this book

"A must-read for anyone passionate about becoming, or supporting, the next generation of physician leaders."

-Dr. Brianna De Souza, MD, FAAD

Perfect Match is more than a dermatology residency guide-it's a mentorship movement in book form.

Written by renowned dermatologist and former department chair Dr. Amy McMichael, this empowering guide offers straight talk, insider strategies, and deeply personal stories to help medical students navigate the competitive-and often intimidating-path to a successful match.

Whether you're applying to dermatology or seeking mentorship as an underrepresented student in medicine, Perfect Match provides both the how-tos and the heart to help you thrive.

Inside you'll learn how to:

  • Build meaningful mentor-mentee relationships
  • Stand out on dermatology rotations, research, and interviews
  • Overcome bias, imposter syndrome, and microaggressions with strength and strategy
  • Write compelling personal statements and ace your ERAS application
  • Embrace failure and turn setbacks into leadership
  • Celebrate your identity while pursuing excellence in medicine

With candor and clarity, Dr. McMichael speaks directly to students-especially those from underrepresented backgrounds-who may feel unseen or unsure of how to succeed in high-stakes medical fields.

If you're a med student, faculty mentor, or aspiring dermatologist, this book belongs on your shelf.

Let Perfect Match be your mentor on the page-and your guide to matching with confidence, purpose, and power.
