Description
The Society for Pediatric Dermatology's Mentorship & Medical Student Mentorship Awards are designed to foster interest and career development in pediatric dermatology by connecting trainees—including medical students, residents, fellows, and junior faculty—with experienced mentors in the field. The program aims to build a diverse and robust workforce of pediatric dermatologists, particularly by supporting those at institutions without specialized pediatric dermatology departments and encouraging participation from individuals of diverse backgrounds. Awardees undertake a mentored clinical experience, typically lasting 2–4 weeks, focused on gaining expertise not available at their home institution.
