Why Dermatology is hard to recruit

PE consolidation has reshaped recruitment dynamics and lifestyle remains the top draw for new graduates. Mohs and dermatopathology subspecialties drive the highest-comp searches. That is why Dermatology searches behave differently than primary-care searches: candidate universe is smaller, time-to-fill is longer, and compensation modeling is more sensitive to setting, productivity, and call structure. Current Dermatology base ranges I see in active offers land between $395K and $575K (median $445K). The two biggest variance levers above base are productivity (wRVU or collections) and geographic shortage premium.

What we look for in Dermatology candidates

Board certification is the floor, not the ceiling. For Dermatology we screen for the specific subspecialty exposure your role requires (Mohs Surgery, Pediatric Dermatology, Dermatopathology, Cosmetic), procedural and case volume aligned with your case mix, call-burden fit, geographic and family situation that makes a 5+ year tenure realistic, and a written compensation expectation that matches your offer band before any introduction. We never present a Derm candidate without a documented reason-for-move narrative.
