The Melanoma Education Foundation provides education about melanoma and self-examination of the skin to detect this common and deadly skin cancer at an early stage while it is curable.
Description
The Melanoma Education Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides melanoma videos and related resources to high school and middle school health educators and students through the website https://www.melanomaeducation.net.
At last count over 1700 schools in all 50 states were utilizing our online videos to educate students about early self-detection and prevention of melanoma. The teacher-training video and student videos produced by MEF received Gold Triangle awards from the American Academy of Dermatology.
We also provide melanoma education to the general public through another website https://www.skincheck.org.
