One of the most rewarding parts of mentorship is watching students grow and take the next step. 💙💛

Kimia joined our dermatology research team as a UCI undergraduate, where we had the pleasure of seeing her curiosity, dedication, and work ethic firsthand. She is now beginning medical school at the
UCI School of Medicine.

A wonderful full-circle moment for our team. Congratulations, Kimia! We are excited to see all that you accomplish in medicine. 🩺✨

So proud of Dr. Aneri Patel on matching at UCLA Dermatology! ✨
From her 2024–2025 OncoDermatology fellowship at UCI under Dr. Smith to graduating from UC Davis School of Medicine and receiving the Top Dermatology Medical Student Award — so well deserved.

We are incredibly proud to spotlight Gabrielle Yerro Baker, an MS2 and scholar in UCI’s LEAD-ABC program, whose passion for health equity is making an impact in dermatology. She was first awarded the Tu-Uchio Academic Research Fellowship to fund her summer project. She recently received the NMA Dermatology Research Fellowship, a competitive year-long fellowship only offered to 10 students.

We are excited to support her research on hair and skin disorders in patients of color.
Gabrielle exemplifies how research, representation, and advocacy can work together to advance patient care.
