Closing the gap through interactive education
There continues to be a striking disparity in disease burden among low income and underrepresented communities. Dermatology is not an exception, and we hope to make dermatology accessible for all.
We deliver education in a lively and creative manner to engage all ages!
Enhancing autonomy over one's health
The goal is to empower people with the awareness, knowledge, and familiarity with skin diseases so they are better able to recognize disease, seek early diagnosis and management to prevent long-term complications from untreated disease
