She graduated from medical school with both academic and clinical honors.  She is a lifetime member of the Alpha Omega society and fully embraces its mission to improve care for all patients, reflected in its motto, “Be Worthy to Serve the Suffering.”

Dr. Rullan strongly believes in giving back to the community and has dedicated a good portion of her free time to doing so. She was an organic chemistry tutor at the Academic Advancement Program at UCLA and a pharmacology tutor at the Ponce School of Medicine. She also served as a site coordinator for the COPE program at a battered women’s home.

While in medical school, she founded and directed the REMEDY Program, a program that recovered unused medical equipment for the developing world, specifically Haiti and the Dominican Republic. She volunteered at Camp Discovery, a summer camp sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology, helping children with disabling skin diseases such as Epidermolysis Bullosa. She has been on several medical mission trips locally, to Peru, and to Brazil. She has both organized and participated in several skin cancer screenings, volunteered in clinics to serve the homeless, and served as a mentor to multiple students.

“I love dermatology and serving people. I want to help my patients so they can become comfortable in their skin and also be a positive inspiration. I am so blessed to be working and learning with my amazing father who has over 30 years of experience.” ~ Jennifer Rullan, MD
