Description
The SPD Mentorship Award, offered by the Society for Pediatric Dermatology, is designed to nurture the professional development of residents, fellows, junior faculty, and medical students pursuing careers in pediatric dermatology. The program aims to establish meaningful mentorships between experienced pediatric dermatologists and early-career physicians—especially those at institutions with limited pediatric dermatology resources. Awardees participate in short-term (2–4 week) mentorship experiences focusing on clinical skill-building and career growth, with a parallel Medical Student Mentorship Award available for medical students interested in the field.
