Dr. Angelica Marrero '23 on Dermatology Fellowship in FL

Dr. Angelica Marrero, a 2023 graduate of UMHS, will be starting a dermatology research fellowship at the Center for Clinical and Cosmetic Research, affiliated with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida in July 2024. She will work with her mentors Dr. Brian Berman and Dr. Mark Nestor. She recently published research articles on a medication's adverse effects and a rare disease case. Dr. Marrero emphasizes that dermatology is not just about cosmetic procedures, but also encompasses oncology, autoimmune diseases, pathology, histology, and surgical procedures. She advises students interested in dermatology to gain experience through elective rotations and publishing research. Dr. Marrero chose UMHS because of the opportunity to rotate in different areas of the United States and the option to do residency in Puerto Rico. She thanks her mother for her support and credits her undergraduate research in oncology for sparking her interest in medicine. Dr. Marrero will be doing away rotations in dermatology in Florida and hopes to pursue hands-on patient work after completing her research fellowship.
