The National Military Dermatology Interest Group (MDIG) was created to support and develop all military medical students—USUHS and HPSP, both MD and DO— and other applicants who are interested in pursuing a career in military dermatology. This group serves as a unified platform that offers guidance, mentorship, opportunities to get involved and network within the military dermatology community, helping students build connections and strengthen their path toward the specialty.
