DermHub (www.dermhub.com) is a medical student-initiated patient education portal and social networking community that centers around the skin. The site provides brief, concise descriptions of common dermatologic conditions in the hope that patients will better understand their diagnoses. DermHub also appeals to human interest by sharing individuals’ stories and providing dermatologists’ insights. In order to engage a wide array of readers, we reach out to individuals with normal skin by educating them about their largest organ, advocating skin care and sun protection, and explaining the ingredients found in products they may commonly use. DermHub is currently working on a sign-up feature that will allow for a more personalized reader experience.
DermHub is entirely student-run; we receive no outside funding or company endorsements. We are looking for dermatologists who are interested in contributing content (either individually authored or conducted in an interview format), serving on an Advisory Board, editing and reviewing posts, and/or recruiting interested medical students to participate in this educational endeavor. If you are interested in any of the above, or if you would like more information, please contact silvinapugliese@gmail.com.
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.
