A Message from our Founder
Thank you for your interest in the Rural Access to Dermatology Society. My passion to bring high quality dermatologic care to rural America stemmed from my humble beginnings in central Illinois. It then blossomed during my journey from teaching on a Navajo Nation border town to becoming a dermatology resident at the University of New Mexico.
It is my hope that our “rad” society will connect faculty, community dermatologists, dermatology residents and medical students who represent the diversity of rural perspectives, experiences, and initiatives in our field. The RADS falls within the AAD’s Strategic Plan and our goal is to facilitate collaboration, brainstorming, research, planning and implementation of methods to improve rural access to dermatology.
Sincerely,
Mary E. Logue, MD, FAAD

You make our
