Medical Student Research Group

The University Hospitals Dermatology Medical Student Research Group is committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive community that empowers medical students to grow professionally while upholding the values of altruism, collaboration, empathy, and competence. We provide valuable resources and a structured environment where hard-working, capable students can take the lead as principal investigators and project leaders on research initiatives of their interest. Through this, we emphasize:

• Altruism: Giving of one’s time and skills to support peers in order to advance dermatologic care.
• Collaboration: Working closely with faculty and peers to cultivate a strong academic and professional network.
• Empathy: Enhancing skills of emotional intelligence and bridging inequities in healthcare by exploring diverse perspectives.
• Competence: Developing the necessary skills to conduct high-quality research in a professional setting.

Our goal is to inspire and equip future leaders in dermatology by providing the foundation for meaningful, impactful research.
