Sunscreen has been shown to reduce the risk of certain skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. We aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of sunscreen use among medical students in Karachi. Methods A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among 578 students from multiple medical universities in Karachi, Pakistan. The levels of use of sunscreen were recorded using a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 29 questions. Descriptive statistics were used and p-values less than 0.05 calculated using the chi-square test were considered significant. Results A majority (n=441, 73.9%) of the participants in this study were female students. Sunscreen use was prevalent in 415 (69.5%) participants.

    UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF MEDICINE ROCKFORD ELECTIVE CATALOG 2019-2020 Dr. Connie Vitali Assistant Dean Office of Medical Education & Evaluation 3/21/19 1 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS COLLEGE OF MEDICINE ROCKFORD The University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford was created by action of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees in May 1971 as part of the expansion of the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. The Rockford program combines the appeal of a small school atmosphere with the strength of one of the nation's largest and most respected medical schools. The Rockford program is strongly community-based; most of the clinical faculty are physicians who practice in the community. Teaching occurs almost exclusively in community hospitals, doctor’s offices and community-based clinics. The Rockford faculty form a close-knit cadre of practitioners who are intimately interested in the education of students, the advancement of the College of Medicine, and the well-being of the local community and its surrounding rural counties. Faculty members actively seek to include students in their activities and to share with students their concern for social and health care issues. These efforts provide a stimulating, collegial learning environment in which intellectual, professional and personal growth are nurtured. The faculty and administration enjoy working closely with students and offer personal guidance and assistance to help students learn the art and science of medicine. Begun in 1993, the Rural Medical Education Program (RMED) recruits and trains family physicians for underserved areas of rural Illinois. M1 and M2 RMED students engage in supplemental educational activities that focus on the foundations of rural family and community medicine while participating in the regular basic science curriculum.
