ABOUT

Founded by Roseman University College of Medicine's inaugural class in 2025, the Dermatology Interest Group is a chapter of the larger Dermatology Interest Group Association.  We are a student-led organization dedicated to improving skin health through community education, outreach, advocacy, and service.

As part of a national movement committed to advancing dermatologic education and service, RUCOM DIGA is proud to bridge the medical community and the public. We believe that education is one of the most powerful tools for improving health, and we are dedicated to building healthier, more informed communities through outreach, collaboration, and advocacy.
