Overview
Childhood skin diseases are associated with severe burden on patients, families, and health care providers. Despite this burden, effective treatments remain sparse and the pace of research slow. To help overcome these challenges, PeDRA is accepting applications for its 2021 PeDRA Research Fellowship program to support one year of mentored research for post-graduate trainees and medical students in the field of pediatric dermatology.
Goals
The Research Fellowships program is driven by PeDRA’s mission to create, inspire, and sustain research to prevent, treat, and cure childhood skin disease. Fellowships are intended to support the development of the next generation of physician scientists and the advancement of active research projects in the field of pediatric dermatology.
