  • “DLS has been the highlight of my medical school experience. The support system created by this group is unmatched. I met so many great students with similar interests in Dermatology. I was also able to sharpen my writing skills and improve my ability to sift through various dermatological literature skillfully. Not only has this organization improved my research skills, but it has also organized various events that have been helpful during my application journey, such as Personal Statement Writing and How to Excel on Audition Rotations. I’m grateful to DLS for creating this supportive platform.”

Beyond the resources DLS offers (which also are incredibly helpful!), I’ve found friendships that will last a lifetime. I no longer feel alone or afraid to attend conferences, because I know I’ll always find at least one other DLS buddy there!”
