"I am very familiar with the AAD and the ASDS and have spent the last year submerging myself into research in the field. I one day want to pursue Mohs surgery fellowship training, so I love reading about new advancements in the procedure and where it will go down the road."

Talk about a couple of resources you plan to dive into to stay on top of trends and research in the Dermatology field. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers if they have any recommendations. This can start a conversation that will be helpful to you! Before your interview, look into Dermatology groups, journals, and publications so you can speak knowledgeably about them during your interview.
"I plan on staying up to date to be the best physician I can be. As a resident, I plan on attending the AAD conferences and reading multiple medical journals to stay current. Listening to Grand Rounds talks is also a great experience, especially for residents, and I'd look to take advantage of these opportunities with your institution."
