We had a great turnout at the meeting last night! Thanks to Dr. Wagner for his interesting talk on "Dermatology in the Media." If you are interested in this topic, Dr. Wagner teaches "Skin Disease Depicted in Film," which may be taken for elective or BSHS credit.
We discussed future community service projects, including visiting local schools to teach about sun protection and a Miles for Melanoma walk. Stay tuned for more details!
Thanks to the medical and PA students for joining us! I believe we had a record attendance.
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.
