As part of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Spot Me Campaign, the UNM Department of Dermatology in collaboration with the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center will be holding free skin cancer screenings throughout New Mexico. Dr. John Durkin spearheaded this iniative in May 2019 with a goal to prioritize New Mexico's "Dermatology Deserts" with a mission to reduce cancer disperaties in underserved communities.
THANK YOU to all who volunteered, which is a great opportunity for our students, and also to the Ryan F. Daniell Fund and the Shannon Shaw Memorial Fund which support this important work.
Please contact Dr. John Durkin if you would like to volunteer in any capacity wth future screenings and we welcome your donations to the Ryan Daniell Memorial Fund to help grow this program sustainably.

This fund was created to honor the legacy of Ryan F. Daniell, who left us too early because of melanoma. It was Ryan’s hope that his struggle with the disease would lead to increased awareness, early detection, and accessible treatment for all New Mexicans. His family established this fund in his name, and they welcome your partnership.
