Who we are.
Dermatological is a coed organization that serves campuses and communities across the United States. We are dedicated to promoting skin health, hygiene, and awareness of skin disorders. With a culture of diversity and inclusion, our chapter at Texas A&M University is working to educate fellow Aggies, regional K-12 schools, and beyond.
The mission of Dermatological TAMU is to provide a platform for Aggies interested in dermatology to connect and address the critical issue of health literacy related to skin health and hygiene. Utilizing a dermatologist-reviewed curriculum, the organization strives to educate K-12 and college students about skin health. Additionally, our aim is to foster a supportive and inclusive community, offering a space for Aggies to pursue their passions in dermatology while also contributing to bridging the skin health literacy gap.
Our Mission.
Outreach
Dermatological TAMU is dedicated to promoting skin health education not only to Texas A&M, but also to K-12 schools in Bryan & College Station. It is important to note that skin health is not currently included in the curriculum of Texas public schools. Therefore, it is crucial for the younger generation to understand that each person's skin is unique and requires specific care. Educating them about proper skincare routines and the significance of safeguarding the body's largest organ is essential for their overall well-being.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are critical components of dermatology, as access to dermatological care is often limited for certain populations–especially people of color, rural, and underserved communities. Furthermore, Dermatological TAMU aims to provide comprehensive and accessible education about skin care and skin diseases to all people, regardless of their personal backgrounds.
