Don't worry if you were not there and wanted to be--you can still offer your input and vote and be a part of the projects.
Minutes:
1)Introductions--each member present introduced who they were and how they got interested in dermatology
2)Elections--each 3rd year interested in dermatology who wants to be President next year and Vice President this year must submit a profile which will be posted on the Blog and then an election will take place. Details on how the voting will be done will be announced shortly.
3)Projects--a few ideas were proposed. It was determined that students interested in dermatology should continue to stay involved in skin cancer screening events, and the Galveston County Health Fair. An idea was proposed on education of high school students on acne.
4)Next meeting--will be held sometime in October, the agenda at the next meeting will be advice offered by senior medical students to junior medical students for greater success during the match, and development of project ideas.
