ACMS Diversity Mentorship Program
Applications are open through July 1, 2025
The ACMS Diversity Mentorship Program is a pipeline program designed to increase exposure of underrepresented minorities (URM) to Mohs surgery with the long-term goal of improving representation within the Mohs college for the betterment of patient outcomes. By pairing an ACMS member with a mentee at an ACGME-approved dermatology residency, the College can help build a future for our specialty that is fully representative of our nation and of our patients.
Selected mentees will be matched 1:1 to an ACMS mentor as part of a year-long program (August 2025 to August 2026) and will consist of quarterly virtual meetings between all mentors and mentees with more frequent one-on-one meetings between individual mentor and mentee pairings. The program is intended to be a hybrid of virtual meetings and in-person opportunities (where circumstances allow) between mentor and mentee. Mentee applicants who self-identify as URM with an interest in Mohs surgery are eligible to apply if they are in good academic standing at an ACGME-approved dermatology residency program, or a graduate thereof. Any ACMS member in good standing, of any background and practice setting, who is committed to active mentorship is encouraged to apply as a mentor.
Interested mentees and mentors are encouraged to apply by completing an application using the links below. Please email info@mohscollege.org with any questions. Applications will be accepted through July 1, 2025.
