Future medical student involvement at the AAD
For next year’s American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting, DIGA would
like to have more medical student involvement in the symposia and
forums. In order to support the idea that medical students are in fact
interested in being involved in the AAD, DIGA would like to include a list
of names of medical students.
Please send an email to Priya Rajendran prajendr@itsa.ucsf.edu , if you give permission to include your name (Please include your full name and
medical school).

Article on Medical Student Research
Wagner RF Jr, Ioffe Boris. Medical student dermatology research in the United States. Dermatology Online Journal 11(1):8, 2005.
Dr. Wagner's article addresses the development of academic resesarch to encourage dermatology trainees into academic practice in the United States. His survey showed that first- and second-year medical students participated in research, but participation significantly increased during the third and fourth years. Institutional funding of medical-student research appears to be of critical importance with regard to the ability of medical students to present their research findings at meetings.
