overview

Experience the Training Environment at UW Medicine in Seattle

The Dermatology Vising Student Scholarship provides funding for medical students interested in dermatology to experience the outstanding training programs at the University of Washington. This scholarship seeks to support fourth year medical students, who due to financial barriers, would otherwise be prevented from participating. This opportunity is open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.

The 4-week elective dermatology rotation connects visiting students with current UW Dermatology faculty, students, and trainees for clinical and research exposure, at one of several UW Medicine locations and provides opportunities for mentorship and collaboration. Students may attend didactics, UW conferences, and site-specific educational rotations while also taking part in department-wide and residency-centered events. Scholars will be able to meet and socialize with UW medical students, residents, and faculty, explore the UW community, and get a taste of life in Seattle.

The University of Washington Department of Dermatology is committed to supporting medical students who bring meaningful life experiences, perseverance, and a sense of purpose to their work in medicine. We welcome applicants who have overcome challenges, contributed to their communities, or bring experiences that broaden understanding of patient care.

Ideal candidates demonstrate intellectual curiosity, compassion, integrity, and teamwork. They are motivated not only to advance the field of dermatology through clinical excellence and inquiry, but also to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of patients and communities.
