Our next internal medicine specialty is dermatology; our first talk will be given by Arjun Ahluwalia, a fourth year medical student at Queen's University Belfast, during which he will cover dermatology conditions that commonly arise in the UKMLA including skin cancers and cutaneous infections. The case-led session should provide students with an opportunity to test and expand on their knowledge.
