Did you know that timely dermatologic screening before transplant can help identify risk factors (history of skin cancer, UV exposure, actinic damage) and set surveillance plans early? A new article in Transplant International emphasizes how pre-transplant evaluations impact long-term outcomes.

SCOPE wasn’t ALL work and no play - ITSCC members got to explore the Amsterdam canals on a boat cruise, eat delicious food, and even take a stroopwafel making class! We can’t wait to host our SCOPE colleagues in Boston next fall. 😊  
ITSCC President Dr. Anokhi Jambusaria even accepted the ITSCC trophy back from Dr. Matt Bottomley of the UK (she also gave a talk on the riSCC model – not pictured!). 
Can you spot the ITSCC stroopwafel??

A group of ITSCC members were thrilled to travel to the recent SCOPE (Skin Care in Organ Transplant Patients) meeting in Amsterdam/Leiden, Netherlands in October. They had a great time exploring the Netherlands, hearing (and providing!) a variety of great talks related to skin cancer in organ transplant recipients, and networking with our European colleagues.

🌟 November is National Healthy Skin Month! 🌟

Healthy skin is especially important for transplant recipients, who face an elevated risk of skin cancer due to immunosuppression.

The Immunosuppression & Transplant Skin Cancer Collaborative (ITSCC) joins the AAD in highlighting the importance of:

✔️ Regular skin checks

✔️ Sun protection every day

✔️ Early recognition of suspicious lesions

Together, we can raise awareness and support transplant patients in protecting their skin health. 💙

We are eager to announce applications for the ITSCC Academic Mentorship Program (IAMP) are now OPEN and available online.
 
The IAMP is a 2-year program designed to connect junior members of ITSCC early in their academic careers with established, senior members to build relationships and assist in career development. We are now entering into our fourth year of the program and have enjoyed seeing success of prior participants. The mentorship is virtual (see photo 2!)
 
Why should you apply as a mentee?
If you have an interest in an academic career in transplant dermatology this is the program for you! The IAMP guides mentees in how to run a transplant dermatology clinic, promotes scholarship, and aids in navigating requirements for academic promotion.  Qualifying mentees including those who are residents or fellows in their terminal year of dermatology training or junior faculty with an appointment at the level of Instructor or Assistant Professor (or equivalent) at their institution and be less than 5 years out from completion of residency training.
 
Program Overview:
1. The IAMP will run from March 2026-Feb 2028
2. Mentees can apply with a mentor already identified or be matched with an ITSCC mentor
 
How to apply and learn more:
Applications for both mentees and mentors along with further details and requirements for the IAMP are available on the ITSCC website.
https://www.itscc.org/about-itscc/news-and-events/academic-mentorship-program
