Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky ‘10, M.D., FAAD, is grateful for the influence that Washington & Jefferson College had on her, and through social media, she is having quite the influence on others. Dr. Zubritsky, a board-certified dermatologist specializing in general medical, surgical, cosmetics, and pediatric dermatology, became a social media influencer on TikTok and Instagram with the username @dermguru, amassing a combined following of over one million users.
When asked what advice she has for current students, Dr. Zubritsky stressed capitalizing on W&J’s many opportunities. “Take advantage of all the unique opportunities that W&J provides,” she said. “To be successful in different professions (like social media and medicine), you must be multi-faceted and wellrounded with a diverse set of life experiences outside of academics. Venture outside of your comfort zone, especially when it comes to invaluable and one-of-a-kind opportunities in research, volunteering, and classwork.”

You & The World Unique to W&J is the Magellan Project. We call it a project, but Magellan is more than a project; it is an experience that begins with an idea. Once you have an idea, you can develop a proposal to set sail to a new land, explore your passion, research the ever-changing world, or whatever you might set your sights on.
