What is the Skin Health Innovation Network Youth Advisory Board?
The SHINe Youth Advisory Board is a unique opportunity for medical students, aspiring doctors, volunteers, and other passionate individuals to come together and collaborate on initiatives aimed at raising awareness about melanomas & skin cancers. This board serves as a platform for students to contribute their ideas, expertise, and resources towards making a tangible difference in the fight against these diseases.

Collaboration in SYSF Initiatives: SHINe fosters a collaborative environment where members actively participate in the planning, development, and execution of initiatives aimed at combating skin cancer and melanoma.
