UQ Derm supports students interested in the study of the skin. We are passionate about supporting medical students with the knowledge, skills, and connections to become skin-savvy graduates and safe future doctors. That’s important, because Queensland is the skin cancer capital of the world with ⅔ Australians suffering from skin cancer before age 70, in addition to the many other dermatologic complaints ranging from acne to toxic epidermal necrolysis. 

​

Throughout the year, we provide academic, clinical, and social events to support medical students within dermatology and advocate for patients with dermatologic conditions. Get involved with our academic peer-tutoring during dermatology study modules, exam-ready summary lectures, and research journal clubs. Come along to our networking events to connect with a community of like-minded medical students, dermatologists, skin surgeons, and skin doctors.
