The Skin Cancer Foundation's Road to Healthy Skin Tour made a stop outside the New Orleans convention center for the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. It's goal: to recruit volunteers.
The Foundation turned an RV into a mobile office. Since 2008, the tour bus and its volunteer dermatologists have held 249 screening events around the nation. Roughly 300 dermatologists have examined more than 10,000 patients and have identified more than 3,000 patients with suspected skin cancers.
To learn more about the tour, we spoke with Dr. Brent Schillinger, a volunteer and dermatologist from Palm Beach, Fla. He has been with the tour for 3 years.
