American Academy of Dermatology Native American Health Service Resident Rotation Program
The American Academy of Dermatology provides funding for four U.S. dermatology residents in their second or third year of residency to participate in a one- to two-week rural health elective in Chinle, Ariz., at the Indian Health Service.
Residents will have an opportunity to provide dermatologic care to the Navajo Nation population, and will work with primary health care providers to assist with diagnosis and management of dermatologic diseases. Residents are expected to keep records of consults, prepare lectures and submit a report of activities to the Academy.
ApplyGrant recipients receive a stipend for airfare, accommodations and board. Second- and third-year residents are encouraged to apply. Four grants are available for rotations to be completed in March, May, August and November during a period of one to two week(s). Each applicant must attach a letter of support from his or her program director or department chair, write a short application essay and submit a complete curriculum vitae with his or her online application.
Applications for 2013 rotations are now opened through April 30, 2012.
