Happy Holidays NMA Dermatology members!
I certainly hope that you and your family are enjoying the holidays.
I am very excited to announce that the pilot for our joint project with Dr. Bonnie Simpson Mason of
Nth Dimensions, NMA Dermatology Section, and the AAD (see photos) was an absolute success! To recap, Dr. Mason founded Nth Dimensions with the mission of reducing the race gap of black medical students entering the field of orthopedics. Recently she successfully expanded the program to Radiology. This year, we carried out 2 pilot projects at Morehouse School of Medicine (thank you
Dr. Elam Moses and
Dr. Sumayah Taliaferro); and
Dr. Ginette Okoye and I carried out the workshops at Howard University College of Medicine.
Dr. Candrice Heath and Dr. Yolanda Lenzy are scheduled for the SNMA conference next spring.
Dr. Ginette Okoye, chair of the department of dermatology at Howard University, will launch the Summer Internship for medical students during the summer of 2019. Please see visit www.NTHDIMENSIONS.ORG. Accepting applications: November 1, 2018 - January 4, 2019
I am very sad to announce that Mrs. Jordan will gradually step down as the administrator for our section for family reasons. We wish her family the best. In the interim, the staff in my office will operate as admit with Mrs. Jordan's guidance.
