AAD x SOCS Pathways Presentation Toolkit for School Visits
We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Pathways Presentation Toolkit, developed in collaboration with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and members of the Skin of Color Society (SOCS). This downloadable PowerPoint is designed for dermatologists and medical students conducting outreach in schools to introduce students—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—to the field of dermatology.
To ensure impact tracking, all users will be directed to access the presentation through the AAD website, where survey tools are integrated to collect meaningful feedback and engagement data.
