The Department of Dermatology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is proud to award up to five (5) diversity clerkship awards per academic year to medical students who are considered underrepresented in dermatology. This award will provide financial support to help students gain exposure to dermatology and to the department. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Eligibility Criteria
· Must be a 3rd or 4th underrepresented medical student (URM) at an accredited medical school in the United States or territories with an interest in completing a residency in dermatology
· Must submit completed application for the rotation
Award Details
The department will award $1500 to up to five medical students to help offset the cost of completing a 4-week rotation through the dermatology department. Preference is given to those noting a financial hardship, for whom completing an away rotation would otherwise be difficult.
While applications are accepted on a rolling basis, applicants are encouraged to apply for the award 3-4 months before their anticipated rotation date.
Awarded applicants must also submit a separate application to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
