If you are interested in healthcare and/or dermatology, this is the workshop for you! The Interactive Technology for Skin: Community Outreach, Research, and Education (iTS-CORE) workshop is an exciting, hands-on experience where you’ll come visit the Stanford campus to get an inside look into healthcare and dermatology. This is a unique opportunity to explore your curiosity through different stations that cover everything from career journeys to cool skin science. Here’s what’s in store:
- Healthcare Career Panel: Meet medical students, nurses, and physicians who will share their journeys in healthcare — hear about the multiple paths or career changes to medicine/healthcare and how everyone has a unique and inspiring story!
- Skin Health Basics: Discover the science of your skin! You’ll learn how melanin plays a role in skin health, what causes acne (and how to manage it), and why sun protection is important for everyone.
- Hands-On Dermatology: Step into a dermatologist's shoes by practicing with the tools they use everyday – look at your skin with a dermatoscope, practice punch biopsies, and dive into our augmented/virtual reality dermatology game to learn about skin cancer and smart sun habits.
- Optional Lab Tour: Pending time, we will take a tour of an active Stanford lab working on bacteriophages.
There is no prerequisite skills or knowledge needed to participate in this experience.
This session is OFF CAMPUS and hosted at Stanford. Transportation will be provided by Nueva.
