AI Article Synopsis
- Our country has a lot of different kinds of people, and we need doctors from different backgrounds to help everyone.
- The number of minority doctors in dermatology (skin care) hasn't really changed in a long time.
- To fix this, the American Academy of Dermatology started the Pathways Programs to teach and support more minority students to become dermatologists, which will help everyone get better healthcare.
Article Abstract
Our country's population continues to diversify, highlighting the need for an equally diverse physician workforce to care for patients. Unfortunately, the percentage of underrepresented minority residents in dermatology has remained relatively unchanged over the past several years. To address this disparity, the American Academy of Dermatology created the Pathways Programs to focus on early exposure to dermatology, skill-building workshops, research, and mentorship. The overarching goal is to increase the number of underrepresented minority dermatologists, which will result in improved patient care and mitigation of healthcare disparities.
