Medical education has long held inequities when educating on dermatology for skin of color. More recent awareness of these long-standing issues has highlighted a need to ensure better dermatology education.

Resources, including digital learning tools, books, and social media platforms, may provide avenues to increase exposure to skin of color dermatology and potentially increase the confidence of medical providers to care for all patients seeking dermatologic care.
