The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD, or Academy) has been partnering with dermatologists across the United States since 1985 to offer free skin cancer screenings. Most screenings take place in the spring, but dermatologists volunteer their time throughout the year. If you do not find a screening in your area, bookmark this site and check back later. Listings are updated weekly.
