Description

In this episode of the DIGA Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Alexa Bonk, who recently matched into an Army dermatology residency through the military match. Dr. Bonk walks us through this lesser-known application pathway, highlighting key differences from the civilian match process, such as required service commitments, away rotations, and interview logistics.

She also shares her journey to military dermatology, what drew her to this unique career path, and the opportunities available to dermatologists who serve in the armed forces. Whether you're considering a military career or are just curious about alternate routes into dermatology, this episode offers an informative and inspiring look at life as a future Army dermatologist. We hope you enjoy!
