DIG Journal Club
2021 Journal Club:
The Dermatology Interest Group (DIG) Journal Club meets monthly during the academic year to discuss manuscripts in the field. We present and discuss recent dermatology publications, research, and projects. We hope that this will be an informative and interactive way to learn more about research being done on both a national and institutional level. The journal club is open to any UMMS students or students from our sister DIG program at Morehouse School of Medicine. There will be opportunities to share your own research, or to review and present recently published articles for discussion.
Student/Trainee Leaders: Holly Neale & Nazgol-Sadat Haddadi, MD, MPH
Faculty Advisor: Jillian Richmond, PhD
