Josue Diaz-Melendez is a third-year medical student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Philadelphia. He is originally from Los Angeles and studied biology at the University of Southern California. Additionally, he had studied dentistry at Columbia University, but realized during his training that medicine was more his passion. His interests in dermatology include autoimmune skin disorders, skin of color dermatology, LGBTQ+ health, dermatopathology, and social media and its implications in misinformation. He’s also part of the social media chair for the Sk(in depth) newsletter. Outside of medicine, Josue loves Pilates, traveling, iced coffee, and making content as a brand ambassador for FIGS.
