Did you know: Vampires don't actually avoid the sun because of a curse, they're just following their dermatologist's advice. Have a safe and fang-tastic hallo-weekend from your RAD Society! 👻🎃

Dr. Mary Logue and Dr. Brittany Bearstail were recently on set recording a session on how rural dermatologists and primary care physicians are working together to break down geographic barriers to care.

This VisualDx Academy Master Educational Program presentation, sponsored by Lilly, is coming to you soon! There will also be a live Q&A to follow.

We're going back to where it all started! Dr. Mary Logue, RADS President and Founder, will be providing skin health screenings at the Oyate Health Center in Rapid City, SD this Saturday, October 24th, during their annual Tunk or Treat. This was the flagship screening event for RADS back in October of 2025. We've come such a long way in one year reaching 6 other states across rural America and providing almost 700 individual skin health screenings to our rural community members.

Thank you to all of our RAD Champions and volunteers over the past year! We're so excited to see what 2027 brings to our rural communities! Learn more at: www.radsociety.org/project-rad

Thank you to our sponsor, Eli Lilly and Company, for supporting our mission and vision!

Seeing articles like this is a stark reminder of why the Rural Access to Dermatology Society was founded. Over 46 million Americans face growing healthcare deserts as rural facilities struggle. Specialty care, especially dermatology, is often the first to disappear, leaving entire communities without essential skin health screenings and disease management. We are committed to bridging this gap and ensuring rural patients aren't left behind.

We'll see you soon, Jackson Hole!

RADS is joining the Wyoming Academy of Dermatology's Annual Conference in Jackson Hole, WY this weekend.

Double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, Dr. Misty Eleryan, will be presenting on Saturday morning as our Keynote Speaker. Through Chosen Dermatology Co., she expands access to comprehensive dermatologic care across rural and under-resourced communities, providing expertise in complex medical dermatology, cutaneous oncology, and dermatologic surgery. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical excellence, access-driven care, and systems-level change.

Dr. Eleryan is the creator of Beyond the Books™, a hands-on surgical education framework developed in early 2024 to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world dermatologic surgery. She also co-created The Full Spectrum of Dermatology: A Diverse & Inclusive Atlas, the first clinical atlas of its kind to center skin tone inclusivity in medical education.

She is also the founder and editorial voice behind The Derm Report by Dr. Misty Eleryan, an independent dermatology and skin-health media platform making evidence-based dermatology accessible to a global audience. Through TDR, she translates dermatology science, skin-health research, emerging innovation, and global perspectives into clear, trustworthy education for the public.
Her work exists to raise the bar, not just for patient care, but for education, access, innovation, and the future of dermatology.

Following Dr. Eleryan will be our 3 RAD Scholars presentations within the WAD Annual Conference program. Hand-selected by the RADS Board of Directors following a rigorous peer-review of submitted abstracts for each event, these individuals represent the next generation of leadership in underserved medicine.
