The MedLink Scholars Mission

MedLink Scholars is committed to empowering disadvantaged and underrepresented medical students by providing access to high-quality, accessible dermatology research opportunities. Our mission is to address unmet resource needs through mentorship and facilitate pathways for publication, poster presentations, and participation in both national and international dermatology conferences. We are dedicated to promoting an inclusive community where all members can contribute meaningfully to the field and establish valuable professional connections, regardless of their background or connections.

MedLink Scholars is operated by independent resident physicians across various specialties who collaborate with numerous attending physicians to oversee initiatives, publications, and projects. Both residents and attendings volunteer their time to support the program, with a shared commitment to advancing research, mentorship, networking, and educational opportunities for medical students nationally and internationally. MedLink Scholars is not affiliated with any academic institution and receives no academic-sponsored funding.
