  • 1.  Looking for Dermatology Research

    Posted 08-04-2024 07:34:00 PM

    Hi all,

    I am a pre-medical student from Riverside, California applying to medical school this next fall. One of my dreams has always been to contribute to the field of dermatology, and I could not be more excited to finally be applying to schools soon. However, I would love nothing more than to be involved already in any way that I can. I have experience in clinical research and medical assisting for years now, but I would love nothing more than to be able to do research in dermatology. It has been difficult for me to find such opportunities, so... here I am. Please let me know if you may know anyone interested in conducting research that would be willing to work with me or even allow me to shadow them. Thank you so much for all your help!

    Hi Shehnaya, 

    We have a great dermatology department at the University of Missouri School of Medicine and MU Health Care. Here is the link to their website, which contains research and contact information. https://medicine.missouri.edu/departments/dermatology/research  

    Best wishes to you on your road to becoming a physician! :)
