Lubriderm is partnering with the National Hispanic Health Foundation (NHHF) to create Skin Scholarships. The scholarship program will award $150,000 total in funds (10 individual scholarships of $15,000 each) to full-time U.S. Hispanic (USH) dermatology residents and physician associate dermatology students focused on a career in dermatology. The goal of the scholarship is to to help increase USH representation and accessibility within the field. Research has shown only 5 percent of U.S. dermatologists identify as Hispanic and a recent survey conducted by Lubriderm discovered that more than a quarter of USH consumers have never visited a dermatologist. “At NHHF, our core mission is to support educational activities to improve the health of the Hispanic community,” says Dr. Elena Rios, president and CEO of NHHF and NHMA. “In partnership with Lubriderm, we are committed in our efforts to help support those who are pursuing their career in dermatology in addition to the U.S. Hispanic community at large.”
Hispanic dermatology residents and physician associate dermatology students, in addition to non-USH students and residents who have an interest in serving the Hispanic community, are eligible to apply. Applications will be open through May 31, 2022, and winners will be selected and notified on July 25, 2022.
