Amy McMichael, MD, Chair of the LiVDerm Deep Dive Racial Disparities in Dermatology program, shares highlights the current health disparities in dermatologic care for patients with skin of color, including:
Can you give us a brief overview of the LiVDerm Deep Dive Racial Disparities program and why it is important to dermatologists? Can you highlight some of the systemic issues that specifically contribute to a lack of knowledge about dermatologic conditions in patients of color? Have you seen a change in the representation of patients with skin of color in clinical trials? Where do you feel dermatologists can continue to improve in terms of recognizing disparities and treating patients with skin of color? Is there anything else you'd like to add?
