Racial microaggressions, racially based remarks, or actions that negatively impact marginalized physicians of color (Black, Latino/a/x, and American Indian/Alaskan Natives) often go unaddressed. This article provides four strategies for how individuals and institutions can engage in anti-racism allyship: (1) be an upstander during microaggressions, (2) be a sponsor and advocate for physicians of color, (3) acknowledge academic titles and accomplishments, and (4) challenge the idea of a "standard fit" for academic faculty and research. Skills in academic allyship should be taught to physicians throughout the educational continuum to mitigate feelings of isolation that racialized minority physicians frequently experience.

Since then, because of the advocacy and effort of several highly visible leaders in dermatology, noticeable progress has been achieved. Leadership lessons learned for successful implementation of DEI include the following: (1) commitment by and continued engagement of highly visible leaders; (2) engagement of other societies in dermatology; (3) engagement of dermatology department leaders and educators; (4) education of the next generation of dermatologists; (5) inclusivity in DEI to include gender and sexual orientation; and (6) cultivation of allies and allyship.

Introduction: Although the American Psychological Association encourages clinical psychologists to recognize and understand the experience of social privilege both within themselves and the individuals and communities they serve, there is a dearth of research in the field to guide this pursuit. According to the available literature, an essential barrier to social privilege integration is its implicit and covert nature that prevents consistent consciousness due to hegemonic forces.
Methods: This study explored the process, from initial social privilege awareness to the moment of the study, through individual interviews.
