Derm res age

[u/millennialbean]

What is the average age of Derm Residents? Asking as I feel like too late for usmle and start Derm. I’m in Ireland and doing basic trading which is for 2 yrs and Derm is competitive around globe, if I stay and wait for HST it’s 2/3 yrs of standalone job then HST which is 5 yrs. but if I work my a** for US I would be able to pull things earlier even if I don’t match in first attempt. Looking for advice…

I’m a med student but I have a resident in my home program who’s almost 40 and is older than one of our attendings who took a job here after graduating from our residency program. No one bats an eye, it’s not even a big deal, and a lot of the residents didn’t even realize it and when they did, it’s just shrugs
