Penn State virtual experience for UiM students

Penn State will be hosting a virtual, 1-week, dermatology experience for UiM medical students. The not-for-credit experience will be held August 22-26th.

Please note this virtual dermatology experience is geared towards those medical students interested in applying to the Penn State Dermatology Residency Program for the upcoming 2022-2023 application cycle and are under-represented in Medicine. This experience is not for academic credit or meant to replace a clinical Dermatology elective. 

Course Design: 

All sessions will take place virtually (live) via Zoom. You will have the opportunity to attend our daily resident didactics, meet our faculty during their evening roundtables, interact with our current residents during their unknown Kodachrome session, lead your own Journal Club and will have an opportunity to meet with our Program Director and Associate Program Director during their Q&A session. We will also be pairing you up with a faculty member or resident to meet at your convenience during the week. 

Requirements: 

• Students are expected to attend four evening sessions with our faculty, as noted on the schedule below. 

• Lead and discuss Journal Club on Friday from 12-1pm.

Please email Fareen Momin (faamomin@utmb.edu) or Andrea Francis (asfranci@utmb.edu) if you’re interested in applying and we can provide the form.

Enrollment: If you are interested in this experience, please submit your application by Wednesday, July 13th to our program coordinator Kelly Friedman. kfriedman@pennstatehealth.psu.edu.
