As a distinguished leader of the Medical Dermatology Society (MDS), we kindly request your financial assistance for the MDS Mentorship Program. Over the past ten years, this initiative has relied exclusively on private donations from individuals. The MDS is dedicated to fostering career development in medical dermatology while enhancing research and clinical care for patients suffering from complex systemic skin conditions. The Mentorship Program connects promising trainees with experienced mentors and academic departments that possess specialized knowledge in this area.
In alignment with our strategic objectives, we view the Mentorship Program as a vital means to pair outstanding candidates with tailored, essential career-development rotations in departments that specialize in complex medical dermatology. Consequently, we seek your support and collaboration. The funds raised will facilitate travel and educational opportunities for awardees, who are anticipated to participate in a mentored experience centered on early career development and research in medical dermatology. Each awardee is required to create and present a summary project at a future MDS meeting, thereby contributing to the growth of the organization and enhancing the pool of emerging medical dermatologists across the nation.
As this program has grown over the years, we appeal to our leaders in medical dermatology to contribute generously. Mentees generally receive $3,000 for their mentorship experience, and all donations are sincerely appreciated. Your contribution will support a competitive application process that aligns applicants with valuable departmental experiences. Your support is crucial for the continued success of the MDS Mentorship Program.
We appreciate your time and consideration regarding this essential aspect of the MDS mission. Your generous, tax-deductible donation will have a significant impact.
We have all benefited from mentorship in the past and none of us would be here without them. Think of those who have mentored you as you consider your support of this program!
