The Dermatology Interest Group (DIG) at UCSF is committed to connecting health professional students with valuable information and experiences to deepen their understanding of dermatology. In line with this mission, DIG collaborates with the UCSF dermatology community to support programs that engage and serve the public. Additionally, DIG fosters a supportive community where students with a shared passion for dermatology can connect and collaborate.

Get paired with a faculty member or resident at UCSF and receive guidance on residency applications, career development, and research opportunities.
Attend annual DIG/Resident/Faculty Social, Post-match panel, and many more events to expand your knowledge and network.
