Dermatology Interest Group

Dermatology Interest Group Overview

As a member group of the national Dermatology Interest Group Association (DIGA), we hope to collaborate in their mission and their activities.

To inform the student body of opportunities in Dermatology.
To establish connections between medical professionals and students.
To promote Dermatology as a career choice.
To offer students interests in Dermatology the opportunity to serve the community through student run skin clinics.

The mission of DIGA as a student-run, non-profit organization is to:

Provide a forum for communication between students and professionals in Dermatology
Create a network of collaboration between DIGs nationwide.
To enhance teamwork and increase participation in early detection of critical dermatological conditions.
To provide a support group for students considering a career in dermatology.

Currently, DIG does not have an official membership. However, those who are interested in becoming involved are welcome to contact us at diguthealthsa@gmail.com to get more information about getting involved.

We take pride in having a diverse group of medical students from all classes. We do not collect membership dues and instead focus our efforts on our annual Run From The Sun 5K. All funds go towards meeting expenses, member activities, and the student-run Travis Park Dermatology Clinic downtown.
