This presentation provides an overview of our proposed study examining the association between chronic dermatologic condition burden and perceived academic impairment among medical students. The study uses a cross-sectional survey to assess dermatology-related quality of life, academic functioning, and students’ experiences with chronic skin conditions. Findings from this research may help identify opportunities to better support medical students affected by chronic dermatologic conditions.
