Tips from a Newly-Matched Resident with Austin Black, MD
Episode 207
Monday, 6 April, 2026

In this episode, we talk with DIGA Podcast giant and out-going co-host and chairman, Austin Black, MD. Austin is a graduating 4th year from McGovern Medical School and successfully matched into dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine. Austin walks us through his journey from first realizing that dermatology was the specialty for him to eventually deciding on a research year. He also discusses what he believes made his application successful, how he handled audition rotations and ranking, and even dual applying (tune in to find out with what specialty!). Throughout the episode, Austin provides well thought out advice for all students to consider. We hope you enjoy!If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with other students interested in dermatology!Instagram: @austin_black ---DIGA Instagram: @derminterestToday’s Host, George: @georgepapadeas--- For questions, comments, or future episode suggestions, please reach out to us via email at derminterestpod@gmail.com ---District Four by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3662-district-fourLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---
