diversity 

In the Department of Dermatology Medical Student Programs, we value and honor diversity and believe it is integral to providing excellent patient care and an optimal environment to learn.

DERMatology ADVISING

UW medical students of all years interested in pursuing dermatology as a specialty are highly encouraged to reach out to Dr. Josiah Hanson as soon as possible for derm-specific advising.

Early interaction with a derm advisor helps students become familiar with the expectations for residency applications and enables faculty to get to know student's interests and personality which inform potential collaborations and eventual recommendations.
