Increasing medical workforce diversity improves access to health care in underserved communities. 1 Although sex diversity has increased in dermatology, racial/ethnic diversity lags behind other specialties. 2,3 We hypothesized that a lack of dermatology exposure during medical school for students underrepresented in medicine (SUIM) may be contributory and characterized sex and racial/ethnic discrepancies in early dermatology exposure opportunities for medical students. Methods | We obtained medical student sex and race/ethnicity enrollment data from the 2017-2018 academic year from the Association of American Medical Colleges. We defined SUIM as individuals reporting black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native American, and/or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander race/ethnicity. Institutions were crossreferenced for presence of American College of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited dermatology residency programs and residency program size. Programs were stratified as small (≤9 residents), medium (10-14 residents), and large (≥15 residents). Institutional presence of ACGME-accredited micrographic surgery and dermatopathology fellowships, American Board of Dermatology-approved pediatric dermatology fellowships, and Dermatology Interest Group Associationverified interest groups were identified to quantify dermatology exposure opportunities. Data were analyzed from May 17 through August 7, 2018. The institutional review boards of Stan

Dermatology is one of the most competitive medical specialties to apply for residency. There is a lack of diversity in dermatology, and the cause is multifactorial. There often are many barriers for students of color gaining acceptance into dermatology. This article explores the personal experience of applying to dermatology as an applicant of color and outlines ways that future students of color can be successful in the match process for dermatology.Cutis. 2021;107:E15-E16.

“…Prior studies have demonstrated the need for increased exposure, education, and training in diseases pertaining to skin of color in US dermatology residency programs. [6][7][8] The aim of this study was to assess if dermatologists intraining feel that their residency curriculum sufficiently educates them on the needs of patients with skin of color.…”

Individuals with skin of color make up the majority of the world's population and a rapidly expanding section of the US population. Future dermatologists must be knowledgeable about dermatologic conditions presenting in patients of various ethnic backgrounds. A 10-question survey was emailed to 109 dermatology residency programs to assess if dermatologists in-training feel that their residency curriculum sufficiently gives them exposure to and education on patients with skin of color. Forty-three residents completed the survey from 5 regions of the United States. Resident responses differed by region. Residents from areas with less diversity were more likely to agree that dedicated skin of color clinics and rotations are important to gain competency compared to residents from areas with more diversity.
