UTMB's project Stay Shady!: Sun Protection for Kids is visiting Austin area elementary schools next month teaching youngsters how to stay safe in the sun. Medical students will give a brief presentation including a dynamic use of a "blacklight," as well as having the students make UV bead bracelets with clear beads that respond to sun exposure by turning color.
Free Stay Shady! T-shirts and complimentary lunch provided! All we need is about an hour of your time during the school week.
If you want to be part of our teaching team of 5 people, please e-mail acwiesen@utmb.edu
This is a fun and rewarding way to help your community. No experience required!
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.
