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.
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.
