DIGA now has 15 member schools, and they want to get
things rolling!
1. DIGA wants to promote awareness and use of the Forum
on the website, especially the Ask A Program Director feature. Students can ask questions anonymously to
program directors so they can get accurate information
about the application process.
Program Directors on the Faculty Panel include:
Raymond Cornelison Jr., MD University of Oklahoma HSC
Ponciano D. Cruz Jr., MD UT Southwestern
Thomas Horn, MD, MBA University of Arkansas
Joseph C. Kvedar, MD Harvard Medical School
Amy S. Paller, MD Northwestern
The school with the most posts to the forum in the
weeks leading up to our first meeting will win a $100 lunch for their DIG.
To be considered for the award, we must submit the number of
posts made by students at UTMB by February 16, 2005. Students do not have to identify
themselves in their posts, but they should put the
name of their school so that it can be counted.
The winner will be announced at the AAD.
2. The upcoming DIGA meeting will be at Academy on Saturday
at 5:15, location TBA. Any students
from UTMB who will be at Academy are welcome to
attend. DIGA will be approving the constitution and
officers and discussing upcoming service and
educational projects. There is a lot to do, and DIGA
encourages everyone to get involved. Another post will
follow describing the available leadership positions
and the process for applying for them.
The University of Texas Medical Branch Dermatology Interest Group (UTMB DIG) is a resource for medical students interested in Dermatology as well as for dermatologists and residents.
