How Your Donations Made an Impact Last Year
- Research Advancement & Wellness Support: "The Casino Night fundraiser was instrumental in advancing our tinea research project by providing much-needed funds for medical record extraction, analysis, and data collection. Casino Night funding contributed to our 2nd Annual Resident Wellness Retreat, which was a major success and a great bonding experience for the entire resident team. We are so appreciative of your generosity!"
— Dr. Ufkes Nicole, Former Resident - Clinical Research Success: "Resident research funding was integral to getting my clinical trial on HPV vaccination for cutaneous warts up and running. Although a Merck grant covered the study drug, your donations paid for the essential clinical research support staff. Clinical research is a team effort, and we couldn’t have launched the trial without our dedicated coordinators."
— Dr. Lowell Thorndike Nicholson, Former Resident - Publication Achievements: Your support helped fund 12 different resident publication citations this past academic year.
- Wellness Retreat: This year, our residents enjoyed a mid-August retreat at Bear Lake—an incredible opportunity to build lifelong professional connections, support emotional well-being, and collaborate on research projects.
Thank you for your continued support. Your generosity directly impacts the future of dermatology, fostering innovation and well-being in our resident community.
