The University of Miami Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery prides itself on the service, education, and research it provides. As the health care environment has changed, the University is less able to support its research and educational activities from patient revenues and there is a greater need for philanthropic support. Our Department has established a series of programs to which one can contribute funds in order to help its mission. We thank you for your interest in supporting the vital work of this Department.
