The first annual Association of Professors of Dermatology (APD) program director (PD) survey was distributed in November 2022 and included 53 respondents from individual Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) programs. This survey included 137 in-depth questions to identify similarities and differences among programs regarding 12 broad categories: program characteristics; PD demographics; impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on residency training; available resources; quality improvement; clinical instruction; didactic instruction; research content; diversity, equity, and inclusion; wellness; evaluation systems; and graduation outcomes of postgraduate year (PGY) 4 residents. The survey provided preliminary insight to similarities and differences between programs, such as varying academic time and research resources, while also challenging norms seen in areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion. As future surveys are optimized to obtain greater response rates, these metrics can be captured in a centralized database accessible to PDs to reflect trends and identify strengths and weaknesses of dermatology residency programs.
