The PennDOC fellowship was one of the most enjoyable and transformative experiences of medical school – I loved my year! During my time as a fellow, I was able to learn more about skin cancers and dermatologic surgery, while also honing my skills in study design, biostats, manuscript preparation, and public presentation. In addition to research, the program supported me in extracurricular endeavors including community outreach with transplant patients through Gift of Life. I am so grateful to the PennDOC fellowship for providing me with not only steadfast mentors, but also great friends. The guidance and support from this group was (and remains!) invaluable. I am confident that this fellowship prepared me well for my future endeavors in dermatology. I cherish this experience, and highly recommend it to all interested students!
