I'm a rising PGY-4 and have been going back and forth about whether I should apply for Mohs fellowship.

I genuinely enjoy surgery and really like the workflow in Mohs clinic. At the same time, I also think I'd be perfectly happy practicing general dermatology, so I'm not sure if pursuing fellowship is worth it for me.

Part of my hesitation is timing. It feels like I'm getting to this decision pretty late, and I haven't spent the last few years building my application with Mohs specifically in mind. As a rising PGY-4, I'm wondering if I already missed the boat or if there's still enough time to put together a competitive application.

Did anyone here decide relatively late that they wanted to pursue Mohs? If so, what did you do to strengthen your application, and did you end up matching?

I'd also love to hear from people who were on the fence between Mohs and general dermatology. Looking back, are you happy with the path you chose? Any advice would be appreciated.

What q banks are used? Should I read through bolognia? Start dermki)
