Hi -- I just wanted to bring to our community's attention the fact that StanfordDerm was banned for supposedly spamming our forum. I assume it's because they advertised their fellowship post -- see below.

Dermatology Clinical Research Position Available
Part-time clinical research associate position available at Stanford Univ. School of Medicine (CA) Dept. of Dermatology for a large clinical study of human skin aging.
Excellent opportunity for pre-medical student to gain experience with clinical studies. Must have great interpersonal skills, be a team player and be flexible.
Please email Anne Chang, MD at [email protected]. If you can include CV and college transcript, would be a plus."
This just goes to show that we really need a DERM mod for this forum. SDN's derm forum is THE place that derm applicants go to for info like the fellowship posts programs put up. These should NOT be considered spam; they are integral to the function of our site.
I'm hoping that the SDN mods will un-ban StanfordDerm so that they can continue to let applicants know about their job opportunities. They probably didn't understand that we derm folks rely on programs to announce their fellowships or other similar positions through SDN, especially with the demise of the (truly spam-ridden) dermboard.
Without their participation, we will not know about the research and fellowship programs out there for reapplicants and future applicants.
I'm going to PM yaah and Lee to let them know about this problem.
