The American Academy of Dermatology is offering financial assistance for member dermatologists and dermatology residents who sustained physical damage to their property from Superstorm Sandy. Low-interest loans are available through a special fund the Academy has established for damage that is not covered by insurance, other forms of financial assistance, or other financial resources available to the dermatologist or resident.
The loans are for a maximum of $25,000 for dermatologists and $5,000 for dermatology residents.
The Academy will provide relief to members who meet the following criteria:
- Live in the areas affected by Superstorm Sandy.
- Have sustained financial losses because of physical damage to their property not covered by insurance, other forms of financial assistance, or other financial resources available to the applicant.
- Must be in good standing with the Academy.
- For dermatology residents, the relief will be offered in the form of a low-interest demand loan with a rate not to exceed 3 percent per year, for no longer than a one year following graduation, and for an amount not to exceed $5,000.
