AID Scholars Class:
Virtual Magic Wand® Program

Training, inspiring, and connecting the next generation of dermatology innovators

The Advancing Innovation in Dermatology (AID) Scholars Class offers a unique opportunity to support residents, fellows, early-career researchers and clinicians interested in product and service innovation in dermatology. Each element of the Scholars Class is designed to train, inspire, and connect the next generation of dermatology innovators. The 2019 AID Scholars Class will participate in the Virtual Magic Wand (VMW) Program. The Program is an offshoot of the Magic Wand® Initiative started at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Dermatology to empower clinical faculty to engage in problem-driven research. AID is pleased to announce that through a competitive application process seventeen applicants were offered, and accepted, enrollment into the AID Scholars Program.
