Support Dermatology Residents and Medical Students

The Department of Dermatology residency program began in 1990 with just one resident. Over the past 30 years, it has grown to include 12 approved spots and is now recognized as one of the top programs in the country.

Your gift to the Department of Dermatology’s Resident & Medical Student Research Fund directly supports our residents and medical students empowering them to explore their professional interests, pursue meaningful research, and discover their passions in dermatology.

Your donation will help fund:

• Resident-led research projects

• Medical student-led research projects

• The Resident wellness and professional development retreat

• Outreach to rural and underserved communities

By contributing, you're helping to strengthen our department's research efforts, support the recruitment of outstanding residents, reduce burnout, and equip future leaders in dermatology with the tools they need to thrive.
