Summer Intern
I had an incredible experience participating in Dr. Mitchell's summer internship program. I first joined in 2025 and was grateful for everything I learned from Dr. Mitchell, Clare, PA-C, Nicole, PA-C, and Joycelyn PA-C. Their willingness to teach and mentor me inspired me to return for a second summer to continue gaining clinical experience.
Over the course of two summers at Mitchell Dermatology, I developed skills in rooming patients, obtaining patient histories, preparing for biopsies and procedures, scheduling appointments, and communicating with patients and providers. I also learned about a variety of dermatologic conditions, skin cancers, and treatment plans. One of my favorite experiences was assisting Dr. Mitchell during the excision of a basal cell carcinoma.
I am incredibly grateful for the mentorship and support I received from everyone at Mitchell Dermatology. As a pre-health student, these two summers gave me valuable insight into patient care and the daily responsibilities of healthcare providers. This experience strengthened my passion for pursuing a career in healthcare and provided a strong foundation for my future!

Summer Intern
I had the privilege of spending the past 10 weeks at Mitchell Dermatology after completing my first year of medical school. Walking through the doors of Mitchell Dermatology, I had limited clinical experience in dermatology, but I was eager to learn. Over the course of this summer, I have grown tremendously, progressing to confidently presenting patient cases, assisting with biopsies and excisions, and developing a deeper appreciation for the impact of dermatology. Although I am saddened that my internship is coming to an end, I leave Ohio with tremendous knowledge, skills, mentorship, and opportunities that will undoubtedly shape my journey toward becoming a dermatologist. I will never forget the guidance, encouragement, and wisdom that Dr. Mitchell, Joy (PA-C), and Nicole (PA-C) have instilled in me. I will miss our Grand Rounds, the countless teaching moments in clinic, and the supportive environment that made every day an opportunity for growth. Lastly, I am especially grateful for the connections Dr. Mitchell has helped me establish, the research projects we have begun, and the doors she has opened for me within dermatology. Her willingness to invest in students and mentor the next generation of dermatologists is truly inspiring. Thank you, Dr. Mitchell, for believing in me, challenging me to grow, and welcoming me into the Mitchell Dermatology family.

Summer Intern
I had the pleasure of being one of Dr. Mitchell’s interns for the summer of 2026. This experience has been formative in shaping the type of dermatologist I desire to become. Each day, I had ample opportunity to focus on higher-level critical decision-making skills and how to think like a clinician. I formulated differential diagnoses, practiced descriptive morphology, treatment plans, and even executed procedures like cryosurgery. Dr. Mitchell combined clinical knowledge with research via “mini grand rounds presentations” where interns presented the most current literature on a given topic. This overlap of bridging different avenues of medicine allowed me to have a foundational understanding of dermatologic practice. My greatest takeaway from this internship is my increase in confidence with patient presentation and comfort with my knowledge of dermatology. Dr. Mitchell is an incredible mentor because she dedicates so much time and authenticity with each individual to tailor their needs and how we can perform at our greatest potential. I look forward to making Dr. Mitchell proud in my pursuit of a career in dermatology!

Summer Intern
Shadowing and working with the amazing providers at Mitchell Dermatology left me feeling well-informed, prepared, and confident as I continue my medical education. The experience here goes far beyond shadowing, it challenges you to transform your critical thinking and clinical decision-making. Through Dr. Hope Mitchell’s mentorship, I felt warm, welcomed, and genuinely seen. As a black woman and first-generation medical student, seeing someone who looked like me every day empowered me. Her presence created an environment where I felt I belonged, while her guidance helped me overcome multiple inner obstacles and strengthen my confidence. Watching how she maneuvers each patient and advocates for patients of color showed me the exact kind of provider I want to become, a standard I will carry with me throughout my medical journey. Beyond Dr. Mitchell's leadership, Jocelynn, PA, went above and beyond. She was truly wonderful, eager to teach, patient in helping me hone my clinical skills, and deeply invested in my success. Together with Nicole, PA, the team offered unmatched support. Interning at Mitchell Dermatology is a priceless experience, and was the best decision for my career as a provider, outlook on healthcare, and my personal growth. I will miss the daily excitement of clinic and being part of a community truly dedicated to supporting me."

Summer Intern
After initially shadowing at this dermatology practice, I returned the following summer as an intern to expand my clinical knowledge and hands-on experience. I quickly progressed from observing patient-provider interactions to performing many of the responsibilities of a medical assistant, including writing SOAP notes, preparing prescriptions, and assisting with procedures. Working closely with a dermatologist and two physician assistants challenged me to think critically, develop differential diagnoses, and present potential treatment plans after reviewing each patient’s history. I also gained confidence in communicating concise yet thorough patient presentations to the provider before appointments. I had the opportunity to train incoming interns, which strengthened my leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. The most meaningful aspect of this experience was witnessing patients’ progress at follow-up visits. Seeing the confidence and happiness on a patient’s face after successful treatment reinforced the importance of building trusting patient-provider relationships and confirmed my passion for pursuing a career in medicine.

Gap Year Intern
I first met Dr. Mitchell as her patient in eighth grade, seeking treatment for hair and nail issues. Even then, I noticed the warmth and skill of her and her team. Heading into my senior year of high school in 2019, I reached out to shadow her, and that summer marked one of the experiences that solidified my decision to pursue medicine. Working under Dr. Mitchell, a Black woman who owned her practice, I saw someone who looked like me in a leadership position in medicine. Observing her thrive in her element reassured me that I belonged. She approaches every challenge with a no-nonsense attitude: if there is an obstacle, you jump over it; if you can't jump, you build a ladder and climb over. Working with her, I received hands-on treatment experience and learned the importance of patient advocacy, medical precision, and the confidence required to lead in a field where Black women are underrepresented. Most importantly, I saw that toughness and compassion could coexist. Her mentorship solidified my commitment to becoming a physician and, one day, a role model for those who come after me. Dr. Mitchell has watched me grow from patient, to shadower, to mentee, to medical intern, and now to first-year medical student. At Mitchell Dermatology, you join a community of women who will push you to grow and thrive in your medical journey.

I was very fortunate to complete a short but meaningful shadowing experience at Mitchell Dermatology. I was able to witness and learn about many different types of procedures that covered different areas of dermatology. Everyone in the office was very welcoming and instrumental to the learning process. The first procedure I witnessed was when Dr. Mitchell performed PRP on a patient with hair loss. It was interesting to learn about the benefits of PRP and how when combined with minoxidil, can yield amazing results. One of the most common types of appointments I witnessed were skin checks. When Dr. Mitchell conducted a skin check, she was very thorough with the patient’s skin while instructing me what to look for in a potentially malignant mole. If a skin spot was not a mole, she would explain to me what it was and how it was different from a mole. I was also able to witness filler and botox. Alyssa explained to me the proper techniques, and she went over the injection sites and explained how different injection sites can affect certain muscles. Finally, I was able to watch Clare remove an evenly sized cyst from a man’s shoulder. This was very interesting as I was able to see what methods she used to make sure the entirety of the cyst’s contents were removed as the cyst did not come out in one piece. Overall, all of the providers taught me a lot about how to interact with patients emphasizing empathy and professionalism. I feel so grateful for this enriching experience!
Gap Year Intern
Three years ago, I walked through the doors of Mitchell Dermatology hoping to learn and grow. I never imagined I would leave with so much more than experience, I would leave with a second family. The people at Mitchell Dermatology have celebrated my successes, encouraged me through challenges, and helped shape me into the person I am today. They believed in me, invested in me, and showed me what it truly means to care for both patients and one another. Every lesson, every laugh, and every friendship has left a lasting mark on my heart. Although this chapter is coming to an end, the relationships I’ve built here will never end. It will always hold a special place in my heart, and each of you will always be family to me. Thank you for three unforgettable years, for your love, support, and memories that I’ll carry with me wherever life takes me."

Summer Intern
My time as a summer intern at Mitchell Dermatology has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my premedical journey. Before beginning the internship, I was interested in dermatology, but this hands on experience confirmed my passion for the specialty and showed me the role dermatologists can have on their patients' lives. Dr. Mitchell creates an environment where students are encouraged to challenge themselves and actively participate in learning. Her teaching style truly motivates us to do our best while reminding us that mistakes are valuable opportunities to learn. Rather than simply giving us the answers, she takes the time to explain her clinical reasoning and ensures we understand concepts correctly so we can apply them confidently in the future. Despite her busy schedule, she generously gives her students her valuable time, whether discussing interesting cases, answering questions, or taking the time to connect with us personally. She invests in the success of her students and creates an environment where we feel supported and encouraged to grow. I feel incredibly privileged and grateful to have learned from her this summer, and I will carry the lessons she taught me throughout my career in medicine."

During my shadowing experience, I learned a tremendous amount in just one day. I observed patients with a variety of skin conditions, including acne, keloids, skin cancer, and severe acne treated with Accutane. I watched procedures such as shave biopsies and wart removal using liquid nitrogen and assisted by handing materials for procedures and helping bandage patients afterward. I also learned about PCOS and its connection to skin health, including how it can cause acne around the neck and jawline as well as irregular menstrual cycles. Another valuable lesson was learning four ways to control bleeding during procedures: applying pressure, using aluminum chloride, placing sutures, and using a cautery machine. This experience gave me a firsthand look at patient care, medical procedures, and physician-patient interactions. I learned more than I expected in a single day, and it helped me gain a clearer understanding of what I want to pursue in the medical field. The opportunity strengthened my interest in healthcare and confirmed my passion for helping others through medicine.
I had the opportunity to complete 24 hours of shadowing over three days at this dermatology clinic, and it was an incredibly educational and rewarding experience. During my time there, I observed skin cancer screenings, acne follow up visits, evaluations of various skin concerns such as rashes, and procedures including the removal of a lipoma and melanoma. One of the most interesting aspects of the experience was learning how providers identify potential signs of skin cancer and the importance of early detection in improving patient outcomes. I also gained a greater appreciation for the wide range of treatment options available for acne and how treatment plans are tailored to each patient's needs. Beyond the clinical knowledge I gained, I enjoyed seeing the strong patient provider relationships and the thoughtful approach taken to patient education and care. The providers and staff were welcoming, professional, and willing to answer questions throughout the experience. This shadowing opportunity strengthened my interest in healthcare and gave me valuable insight into the field of dermatology. I am very grateful for the chance to learn from such a knowledgeable and dedicated team.
Shadowing at Mitchell Dermatology was an incredible experience. When I arrived, I was instantly welcomed by the staff, and PA Joycelyn Dumfeh introduced me to the team, showed me around the clinic, and answered any questions I had about dermatology, the clinic, and the profession in general. While all of the operations and patient consultations that I observed helped shape my experience and learning, one of the most memorable was the removal of a lipoma that I observed with PA Joycelyn Dumfeh and PA Clare Whitner, which gave me insight into some of the procedures that take place at Mitchell Dermatology. I also observed many full-body exams where I learned about cherry angiomas, lentigines, different types of keratoses, and the appearance of typical and atypical moles. This provided me with a valuable insight into the daily realities of dermatology. The team was very passionate about their work and provided a welcoming environment for me to observe, ask questions, and even set up biopsy trays by myself. This experience greatly helped me shape my career goals, and I am so grateful to everyone at Mitchell Dermatology for helping me learn throughout my entire shadowing experience.
I had an amazing time shadowing at Mitchell Dermatology. Joy was an amazing person to shadow. She was very talkative and greeting, and coming in I was a bit shy, but her energy made me feel very comfortable. I saw what the PAs discuss before walking in to see clients with acne, sun damage, skin checks, and hair loss. All the PAs were very welcoming, and I even got to shadow all of them at one point with a client. I thought it was very cool to see what app they use to track clients and their progress, and to see them select the clients’ problem areas on the human anatomy in the app. I got to see Joy cut a sac in a big cyst, and she gave me the opportunity to wipe it off, just letting me participate in a way and get a feel for what it’s like to be involved. I witnessed a very heartwarming interaction that I’ll never forget. A lady named Margaret, who was in for a rash, was a very sweet person. Joy was doing her job and came in with great energy. Her energy made the clients feel like they were important, and the client asked her name and complimented it. Once she complimented it, saying it was a super cool name, she said, “I like you, you aren’t like many doctors, most of them are…” with a boring facial expression, and they both laughed. It was so heartwarming for me to see. That was one of my favourite moments shadowing there. Nicole Bergman was amazing as well. She walked into the room with the client with the best energy and a big smile on her face. I had a great experience shadowing.
My shadowing experience at Mitchell Dermatology was incredibly rewarding. I learned so much more about the field, observed procedures, and even gained hands-on experience that deepened my understanding. I especially appreciated the time I was able to spend speaking with Dr. Mitchell about my career goals. Her guidance and advice was honest and meaningful. This experience further motivated me in my journey toward medicine.
Mitchell Dermatology provided valuable insight into the daily routine of a Dermatology provider, and the typical patient-population for this specialty. The PAs and Dr. Mitchell were incredibly knowledgeable and eager to provide further insight when questions were asked. Hands-on experience was offered as well, including assisting with biopsies and I&Ds, and setting up biopsy carts. This shadowing opportunity was enjoyable, informational, and inspiring for a student pursuing a career as a physician assistant!
I learned a lot from this experience. From each of the providers I learned more about medicine, medical terminology and dermatology specifically. I observed numerous things including biopsy’s, skin exams, and cryotherapy. I was also given the opportunity to conduct a suture removal, biopsy setup and lead an appointment. It was an amazing opportunity!
During my time shadowing at Mitchell Dermatology, I had an extremely fulfilling experience. I spent one week in the office with Dr. Mitchell and her team, where I was able to see the ins and outs of what my future career could look like while also being allowed to play a role on their team. As an undergraduate student, opportunities that allow meaningful face time with patients, exposure to valuable medical knowledge, and hands-on involvement are rare. Everyone in the office demonstrated a vast knowledge of the field and consistently made sure I was seeing, learning, and absorbing day-to-day clinical interactions. As a pre-PA student, learning directly from Dr. Mitchell and PAs Nicole, Clare, and Joycelyn was incredibly valuable. They generously shared their knowledge and experience, which taught me so much about working in dermatology. Seeing an office led by empowering women in the medical field was truly inspiring and an experience that I will carry with me throughout my medical journey.
As a high school student, during my job shadow experience at Mitchell Dermatology with Dr. Mitchell, I learned many things. This experience was amazing and showed me what a day in the life looks like for a dermatologist and others that work in the building. Throughout my shadowing, I got to see many full-body scans for cancer. The cancer spots were dry and rough and stopped the finger when brushing through. When they identified these, they sprayed them with liquid nitrogen, which is -196°C. In addition, ultraviolet light is a carcinogen that causes cancer, which can be avoided by wearing sunscreen or SPF. With acne, people of color tend to leave pigmentation that is darker. On the other hand, white people tend to have red bumps or spots left. Watching a biopsy and assisting Dr. Mitchell was another great experience I got at her office. These are some of the many things I learned throughout this shadowing experience. Thank you, Dr. Mitchell for allowing me to job shadow you and your staff.
As a high school student, during my time at Mitchell Dermatology, I got to see a clear overview of the field of dermatology. As someone confused on which path to take but interested in the medical field, I got a hands-on experience into what my future career would look like. Contrary to normal shadowing, Mitchell Dermatology allowed me to assist in minor tasks instead of standing and listening. This allowed me to not only absorb the material but also apply it. The staff was extremely helpful and supportive while I was learning.
My dermatology rotation with Dr. Mitchell has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Dr. Mitchell is a phenomenal educator, mentor, and leader whose dedication to patient care, teaching, and advocacy is truly inspiring. Working alongside her has not only deepened my clinical knowledge but also reinforced my passion for the field of dermatology. Her thoughtful guidance, compassionate approach, and commitment to excellence have left a lasting impact on me, both professionally and personally. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and receive her mentorship.
Nth Dimensions Summer Intern
I am sincerely grateful to Dr. Mitchell for her exceptional guidance throughout my summer internship experience. From the beginning, she welcomed me with kindness and made me feel like a valued member of the clinical team. Her dedication to patient care, clinical excellence, and mentorship truly inspired me. Throughout the summer, she not only demonstrated what it means to be a compassionate and skilled physician, but she also took time to teach, challenge, and support me as a learner. She created a learning environment that was patient-centered, intellectually engaging, and emotionally supportive, one that I hope to one day emulate. This experience has deepened my passion for medicine and shaped my vision of the physician I want to become. I am so grateful for Dr. Mitchell’s generosity, patience, and commitment to mentorship. I will carry the lessons I’ve learned from her with me throughout my career.

As a medical student without a home dermatology program this experience was the best way to get a strong foundation in dermatology. Dr. Mitchell is hands down the best teacher I have met! You can immediately tell she is passionate about what she does and mentorship is her calling. She does the work! Dr. Mitchell took the time to explain every diagnosis not just to the patients but to the students that were rotating with her. That was one of the things I was most impressed about: she extensively educated her patients and gave them the tools to make informed decisions. She pushed me outside of my comfort zone and I gained hands-on experience taking histories, the proper way to present to an attending, scheduling medical appointments, sending prescriptions, communicating with patients about their laboratory results and setting up procedures to assist with biopsies, surgical excisions, and suturing skills. She has given me the tools as well as the confidence to shine wherever I go. I also have to give a shout out to the office staff! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful…I was immediately treated like part of the family. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and I hope to become just like Dr. Mitchell one day!
Shadowing Dr. Hope Mitchell was an incredibly enriching and inspiring experience. During my time in her clinic, I had the opportunity to see a wide range of dermatologic conditions, from common to more complex cases, which deepened my clinical understanding and sharpened my diagnostic skills. Dr. Mitchell is an exceptional physician as well as a generous mentor. She shared invaluable guidance on how to become a stronger dermatology applicant, especially as I am relatively new to the field. Her insights and encouragement left a lasting impression on me, and I left this experience feeling both confident and motivated about my journey towards dermatology. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you, Dr. Mitchell, for creating this internship opportunity!
Shadowing at Mitchell Dermatology was a great experience! I went in not knowing much about dermatology and upon shadowing Clare, the PA there, I was able to better understand the day to day life of a PA, and what they might come across in the office. I was very curious and eager to learn, so I would ask questions to clarify in regards to patients that helped me better understand how Clare would go about diagnosing and treating patients. This experience further solidified my career aspiration to become a PA, and possibly one day work in dermatology.
My time shadowing Clare Whitner (PA-C) and Dr. Mitchell was truly amazing. This was my first time shadowing a PA, and this experience solidified my decision to pursue a career in Physician Assistant Studies. I enjoyed observing biopsies, acne treatments, full-body skin exams, and much more. I was able to gain insight into the responsibilities of a PA and observe several procedures for a variety of conditions. The staff at Mitchell Dermatology were very welcoming and willing to answer any questions I had. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time shadowing and am extremely grateful for this experience.
In my short experience at Mitchell Dermatology, only one word comes to mind—excellence. From the time you walk through the door to the time you exit, you are greeted by caring and efficient team members and providers. Dr. Mitchell's attention to detail and passion for teaching are unmatched. She is a true leader who motivates her team to go beyond. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I am excited for the opportunity to return.
I have greatly enjoyed shadowing Mrs Bergman PA-C, at Mitchell Dermatology. I learned quite a bit about dermatology. From learning about the schedule to punches, freezing certain conditions that show up, and treatment plans for conditions like acne, my knowledge has been furthered much by this experience. Also, I enjoyed watching Mrs Bergman. Interact with patients and help get to the root of their condition and help them feel confident and/or healthy again. Another thing I enjoyed about dermatology is learning about insurances and different procedures they do or do not cover and how to best form a plan for the patient financially as well. Overall, I am very grateful for this shadowing experience and the things I have learned. It further solidified my decision to become a PA. Thank you, Mrs. Bergman PA-C, Dr. Mitchell, and Mitchell Dermatology for allowing me this great opportunity!
I was given the opportunity to examine a variety of skin and hair conditions and treatments during my shadowing experience at Mitchell Dermatology. Seeing how dermatology specialists detect and treat a range of skin conditions—from simple issues such as eczema and acne to more complicated ones like melanoma within the skin—was both intriguing and eye-opening.
Seeing several biopsies conducted in the dermatology clinic was one of the highlights of this shadowing experience. After seeing a suspicious growth that a patient brought in, the physician assistant would determine whether to biopsy the growth and submit it to the lab for additional testing. The provider I got the chance to observe was quite efficient and made the patient's treatment seem to be somewhat painless. The physician assistant would then discuss the value of preventative care in the field of dermatology, reminding the patient to avoid dangerous UV rays, such as tanning beds, and to always use sunscreen. All in all, I had an amazing experience, and I would love to return to Mitchell Dermatology and continue working with the medical staff there!

As a second year PA student, I had the incredible opportunity to work alongside experienced PAs in the office, and it was truly a transformative experience. I gained invaluable hands-on skills in recognizing skin conditions, conducting skin cancer screenings, and managing acute ailments-knowledge that has significantly boosted my confidence in any clinical setting. I refined my procedural skills, including suturing, shave and punch biopsies, assisting in bedside excisions, and performing cryotherapy. What made this rotation truly exceptional was the unwavering support and encouragement from the PAs and staff. Their mentorship not only enhanced my technical abilities but also instilled in me a deeper sense of confidence and passion for dermatology.

My time at Mitchel Dermatology was invaluable to my education. I gained a deeper understanding of how to differentiate diagnoses and the critical steps needed to accurately diagnose dermatologic diseases, which is essential for determining the most effective treatment plan. As I noted in my end-of-rotation assignment, I also learned about the barriers to patient care, particularly challenges in securing medications like biologic injections for conditions such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Throughout my time there, I observed the team’s collaborative efforts to help patients access the care they needed. This often involved persistent communication with insurance companies to secure prior authorizations or consulting with colleagues to decide on the best course of action. In some cases, pharmaceutical samples were offered, though they weren’t always available. What stood out to me was how teamwork and persistence made it possible to find solutions, ensuring that patients received the necessary treatment and relief for their symptoms, helping them regain their functionality.
I had a wonderful time here at Mitchell Dermatology.

As a 4th year medical student applying to dermatology, I sought out a 2-week long shadowing internship with my mentor of 6 years, Dr. Mitchell. She quickly immersed me into the patient care experience and refined my case presentation, documentation, medical decision making and procedural skills, all very essential for my upcoming away rotations. I also had the opportunity to work alongside PAs. What made this experience unique was the opportunity to see a wide variety of hair and scalp disorders, which is a personal and professional interest of mine. Any student seeking the opportunity to grow their skills in skin of color dermatology would be so lucky to be trained by her!
Mitchell Dermatology was my first shadowing experience, and it was truly top notch. Overall, all of the staff members made me feel welcome, and were there for any questions I had. I shadowed Nicole Bergman PA-C, and she was truly amazing. It was incredible to see the way she interacted with her patients. She is encouraging, personable, and intelligent. Personally, she made me feel valued. Not only did she answer any questions I had, but she went out of her way to explain certain diagnoses to help me better understand her patients. Nicole also ensured that every moment of my shadowing experience would be beneficial to me. When she had patients who were not comfortable with a shadowing student in the room, she asked her coworkers if I could shadow them for the time being. Nicole and the rest of the staff were friendly and motivating. Nicole is an incredible PA, and a true role-model for all prospective PA students. I honestly could not have hoped for a better experience at Mitchell Dermatology. After my time at Mitchell Dermatology, I have never been more confident in my journey as a prospective PA student.

My experience at Mitchell Dermatology was very insightful! Between shadowing Clare and Nicole, I was able to see a great amount of various cases each patient came to the office with! As well as seeing these cases and listening to treatment plans, I was able to be of help in the process by initially getting the patients history and what was bringing them in that day. The excisions and biopsies were very intriguing and interesting to observe and assist alongside the PAs. On the cosmetic side, I was able to observe a laser hair removal and injection of Botox.

My shadowing experience at Mitchell Dermatology allowed me to become more well-rounded in my knowledge regarding Dermatology. I was able to experience the diagnosis and treatment of several common skin lesions and cancers. I was also able to observe and assist in several forms of procedures such as shave and punch biopsies and excisions. Nicole Bergman, PA-C took the time to explain her thought process when diagnosing and choosing specific treatment plans for patient concerns which allowed me to understand her choices and I was able to see how much she cares for the patients by individualizing treatment for them! The staff at Mitchell Dermatology took the time to teach me the EMR system and answered questions I had, and if they were unable to, they went the extra mile to find someone who could! Overall, my shadowing experience was very educational and enjoyable.
My shadowing experience was wonderful and it gave me a better insight on what I want to pursue in my future career. Having the opportunity to visually see the different lesions on the skin has gained my attention and has raised my knowledge of how precious the skin actually is. Pursuing a career in medicine will help me realize that helping people will result in boosting their confidence and put a sense of relief on myself. Thank you so much for this great opportunity!
With the support of the Edwards-Jenkins Scholarship, I had the opportunity to shadow Dr. Mitchell during my Spring Break. My experience was phenomenal! Dr. Mitchell and her staff were so welcoming and provided me the opportunity to have an amazing hands-on experience. I observed punch biopsies, botox, total body skin exams, artificial intelligence hair growth measurement, and much more. I was even able to learn to conduct full body skin exams, take dermatology based history, and present patients. I am immensely grateful for this experience. As a young woman from Baltimore, Maryland I recognize the need for Black Dermatologists and I aspire to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Mitchell.
My shadowing experience at Mitchell Dermatology was an immensely rewarding opportunity. I am so honored that I got the chance to learn under Nicole Bergman (PA-C) as she is extraordinarily knowledgeable in her field and passionate about what she does.

My experience at Mitchell Dermatology has been extremely rewarding, even over the course of the few days I was able to shadow. This opportunity allowed me to gain first-hand insight into the dermatology career, including patient interaction, workplace environment, and common conditions and treatments. I watched procedures, including an excision of cancerous skin cells, cyst removals, and biopsies. I was asked to give a report of patient information after welcoming them to the practice, including their reason for visiting, the location of their concerned area, and the duration of symptoms. This communication within this field was something I was unfamiliar with, and am excited to take forward with me through schooling and future jobs. I also got hands-on experience with setting up a surgery, filling syringes, and aiding in finishing a punch biopsy. In addition, Dr. Mitchell guided me in note taking so I could take the information that I was learning with me, easily accessible in the notebook I brought to the shadowing experience. Dr. Mitchell ensured that I gained as much experience and retained as much information as I could within the time that I shadowed both her and Nicole. I accomplished my short term goals of gaining insight into the dermatology field and solidifying my interest in becoming a dermatologist. I hope to take my experience shadowing at Mitchell Dermatology to apply to my long term goals, which will aid me in my journey through medical school and residency.

My shadowing experience was done by observing Nicole Bergman (PA-C) at Mitchell dermatology. The practice was a fantastic and comfortable setting that allowed to me further explore and grasp a better understanding of the field. I spent three days to obtain an accumulative of 20 hours of observation by shadowing Nicole.

I am hoping to take these characteristics into practice into my near future in medicine. I am grateful for my reinsured experience and excited for what is to come!

With the consent of her patients, I was able to see many dermatological procedures, like the removal of warts, Botox, chemical peels, hair loss injections, removal of skin cancer, full body skin exams, biopsies, and so much more. Her practice was filled with knowledgeable and caring staff that showed me how to prepare examination rooms, check in patients efficiently, and schedule appointments.

Dr. Mitchell is the epitome of what it means to be a change agent, leader, and dedicated mentor in dermatology. She has continuously excelled as a dermatologist and prioritizes lifting others as she climbs.

My mentorship experience with her has truly changed my trajectory in ways I could have never imagined. I have had incredible experiences and unprecedented opportunities as a result of her mentorship. She provides guidance regarding the journey through medicine, dermatology, and the art of business. I have watched her provide dermatologic care to patients that has been life-changing for them. Her profound knowledge base has taught me so much regarding patient care and how to be an effective business owner. Dr. Mitchell has been an immaculate example of the type of physician I hope to one day become. I am forever indebted to the tools and words of wisdom she has bestowed upon me, and I can not wait to one day do the same for other students.

Medical Assistant
I started at Mitchell Dermatology in 2015 as a shadow student from Bowling Green State University. I came in twice a week and learned how to take medical notes, room patients, and set up and assist with procedures. Since then, I became a medical assistant at Mitchell Dermatology in the summer of 2016 through September of 2021 and continued to grow my medical knowledge. This experience led me to get my masters in Human Donation Science at the University of Toledo. I am currently employed working as a procurement transplant coordinator.
