They are looking for a start date in the summer of 2026 but this can be negotiated. This is an excellent opportunity for pre-med students looking for clinical and research experience before attending medical school.
In conjunction with Beacon Clinical Research, DermCare Experts offers its Combined Dermatology and Clinical Research Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Fellowship, an innovative two-year program in metro Boston designed to help college graduates gain extensive exposure to both dermatological patient care and clinical research.
This is an immersive and diverse experience that strengthens the medical school application in this extremely competitive environment. Fellows work as certified medical assistants that are deeply engaged in outpatient dermatology as well as certified clinical research coordinators fully responsible for leading a variety of trials sponsored by multinational pharmaceutical companies.
HOW TO APPLY
Candidates must submit a cover letter, resume, transcript, and one actual letter of recommendation emailed directly to the clinic at emily@dermcare.expert and tanisha@dermcare.expert, or through their school’s career center listing such as Handshake. If you are submitting your application via a platform like Handshake, please ensure that the letter of recommendation is sent to emily@dermcare.expert and tanisha@dermcare.expert directly through email.
Interviews are conducted via video meetings but we strongly prefer on-site meetings the travel costs for which we unfortunately cannot cover. We actively seek diversity in all senses: gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic status.
It is also strongly advised to have completed the MCAT before starting the program, because studying to score higher on the test will be frankly impossible with the hours spent in the fellowship. Fellows are expected to start in the summer, but this can be negotiated. We also offer two weeks PTO and 7 paid holidays – different from other hourly gap year positions.
