conducted two free skin cancer screenings in Taos last weekend and was able to reassure and educate those who attended about normal skin findings and signs of skin cancer. These free screenings are pivotal in our state as many would not have been able to access Derm services otherwise. Thank you to Schreiber Family Medicine and Taos Ski Valley for hosting us, the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center Shannon Shaw Fund, AAD Spot Me Skin Cancer campaign, and our very own Ryan F. Daniell Memorial Fund for making these important community initiatives possible, as well as our excellent learner volunteers. Look forward to details about our next screenings happening in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho on May 2! ⛱️🏔️☀️

Dr Samantha Herbert (PGY-2), Dr Larimar Rodriguez (PGY-3), Dr Aimee Smidt (Professor & Chair), Dr Kim Artounian (PGY-4), and Oma Edeh (UNMSOM MD PhD Candidate) led attendees through a series of workshops ranging from suturing, dermoscopy, and punch biopsies.

It is through initiatives like this that we are truly transforming Dermatology in NM. 🏜️
