Meet the DHDWG Team!
The DHDWG is a group of medical students interested in advancing health equity in dermatology. Our work spans LGBTQIA+ health, skin of color, infectious diseases, disability, AI equity, and other areas where disparities affect dermatologic care and outcomes.
Beyond research, we coordinate community events and opportunities for engagement with organizations and communities outside the medical center. Whether you’re interested in research, advocacy, community engagement, or simply learning more, feel free to reach out—we’d love to have you involved!
