Mentee: Jamee Charles, MD
Mentor: Donald Glass, MD, PhD
University of the West Indies, Mona Campus
My name is Dr. Jamee Charles; originally from the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. I was honored to be a mentee in the 2024-2025 Skin of Color Society (SOCS) Mentorship Program, under the guidance of Dr. Donald Glass. As a third-year dermatology resident at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus in Jamaica, this opportunity was truly enriching. Through Dr. Glass’support, I was able to complete a one-month Observership in Dallas, Texas. This experience was incredibly rewarding since I had the opportunity to learn from and connect with several outstanding dermatologists and thus, broadened both my clinical exposure and professional network. I am grateful to Dr. Glass and the SOCS for this invaluable experience and I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to other trainees passionate about advancing care in skin of color dermatology.
