Physician Career Advising | Dr. Misty Eleryan

Applicant experience. Former interviewer perspective. Years of advising.

I have navigated dermatology residency and Mohs (MSDO) fellowship applications as an applicant and served as a former interviewer for both pathways. Over the years, I have advised numerous medical students and dermatology residents who subsequently matched into dermatology residency and Mohs fellowship. I am also a trusted referral point for people seeking guidance on these applications and broader physician career decisions.

My broader career perspective reflects experience across clinical medicine, surgical education, entrepreneurship, media, and professional collaboration.

Three focused pathways.

Strategic career guidance for medical students pursuing dermatology, dermatology residents and practicing dermatologists pursuing Mohs (MSDO) fellowship, and physicians navigating career transitions, entrepreneurship, and new professional opportunities.

Dermatology Residency AdvisingFor medical students pursuing dermatology residency. Topics may include application strategy, CV and personal statement review, research ideas/strategy, interview preparation, and reapplication planning.

Mohs (MSDO) Fellowship AdvisingFor dermatology residents and practicing dermatologists pursuing MSDO fellowship. Topics may include candidacy, application strategy, CV and personal statement review, interview preparation, and reapplication planning.

Physician Career AdvisingFor physicians in any specialty considering a career transition, physician entrepreneurship, consulting, speaking engagements, medical writing, media, medical education, industry or advisory opportunities, flexible clinical practice, or a combination of clinical and nonclinical work.

Specialty-specific application advising is limited to dermatology residency and MSDO fellowship. Physicians in other specialties may seek advising for broader career strategy, entrepreneurship, and professional transitions.

Focused guidance for one primary issue.

Bring one primary career question or decision to a 60-minute private session. We will focus on your situation, the options in front of you, the tradeoffs to consider, and practical next steps aligned with your goals.

The session includes focused discussion, strategic guidance, and actionable next steps regarding one primary issue or concern. Multiple related questions are welcome when they support that same issue. The session does not include multiple unrelated requests or deliverables, such as a comprehensive application review, a full personal statement review, networking introductions, and interview preparation in the same hour.
