Why did you choose EVMS Dermatology?

I chose EVMS Dermatology because I value service to the community which EVMS is well known for. We see a pleasantly diverse population of patients and pathology. Additionally, I knew it was the program for me because of the supportive and welcoming atmosphere I felt during my interview! 

What advice do you have for students applying to Dermatology?

Work hard and be persistent, don’t let anyone discourage you from following your dreams! Also, be kind and respectful to everyone you meet along the way. It’s a small world/field.
