January DIG Meeting
The DIG held its second meeting on 1/24/06. In attendance were Dr. Wagner, Co-presidents Joslyn Witherspoon and Emily Fridlington, Jennifer Pike, Julie Fridlington, Julie Cummings, Kristin Pogue, and Karlie Heckaman.
The first half of the meeting consisted of a resident panel. The residents that graciously conducted the Q & A session were Dr. Sra, Dr. Perri, Dr. Ramirez and Dr. Weaver. Topics discussed included research opportunities, how to prepare for the boards, the typical day of a dermatology resident, and what makes a good dermatology applicant. We would like to thank the residents for coming and sharing their insight with the DIG.
The second half of the meeting was about community service projects that the DIG will be conducting which include:
1.) The Galveston County Health Fair on March 4, 2006 on Seawall at the Academy Sports Store Parking Lot. The DIG will have a table on skin cancer and sun safety with various informational brochures and sunscreen samples.
2.) The High School Outreach Program at Ball High will most likely take place in April or May of this year. We will contact the school in order to decide what dates work best for them.
3.) AAD Skin Cancer Screening will take place in May. The DIG will assist the dermatology department with their annual skin cancer screening by registering patients and providing them with material on skin cancer.
