Dermatology Society: Vice President

Hi, I'm Winston!

I'm eager to learn from the current leadership and contribute fresh ideas for our society's events and initiatives. I'm confident that I can be a valuable asset as a supportive vice president, helping the society achieve its goals.

I am passionate about reducing the barriers to accessing knowledge about skin health and educating others about the benefits of maintaining a health skin regimen.

I hope I will be able to make an impact by educating others about dermatology as a specialty and the theory behind the conditions and therapeutic treatments, while expanding my own experience and knowledge about the subject. 

I hope I can contribute to the dermatology society in it's mission to provide more information about dermatology and the related health conditions!

My name is Lakshaajeni Thevapalan and I am a fifth year medical student with an interest in dermatology. As Dermatology society president 2023-24, I worked with the wonderful Dermsoc committee to host a 10 part dermatology tutorial series on dermatological presentations in various medical specialties alongside talks from leading dermatology consultants and trainees. I also worked alongside the St George's, KCL and ICL Dermsocs to host the Skin of colour lecture series as well as establishing the first Pan-London dermatology undergraduate conference "Skin Synergy 2024". As I run for Vice President, my goal is to continue supporting the team in maintaining and expanding the initiatives and projects we initiated this year. I intend to leverage the connections established to offer a broader spectrum of talks and sessions, covering topics such as psychodermatology, dermatology in public health, and pediatric dermatology. I aspire to further advance this year's progress and contribute to greater growth, collaboration, and impact
