The United States skin of color population is increasing. Consequently, the importance of skin of color education in dermatology residency programs will continue to grow. Previous data has shown a lack of formal education on skin of color across residency programs. In order to address this identified knowledge gap, we created a curriculum focusing exclusively on skin of color for dermatology residents. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effect of a week-long curriculum on the perception of dermatology residents’ comfort level treating patients of color and to determine if this type of curriculum could be expanded to other dermatology residents. Results demonstrated a significant increase when residents were asked to rate their overall confidence in managing patients with skin of color on a scale from 1 (minimally confident) to 10 (extremely confident) pre- and post-intervention. Overall, 100% of learners felt that their ability to care for patients of color was improved by this curriculum and that a skin of color curriculum should be an annual component of their dermatology academic curriculum.

美国有色人种的数量在不断增加。因此，皮肤科住院医师培训项目中对有色人种皮肤教育的重要性将继续增长。先前的数据表明，住院医师培训项目中普遍缺乏关于有色人种皮肤的正规教育。为了弥补这一知识空白，我们专门为皮肤科住院医师制定了一门专注于有色人种皮肤的课程。这项初步研究的目的是检验为期一周的课程对皮肤科住院医师治疗有色人种患者的舒适度的影响，并确定这种课程是否可以扩展到其他皮肤科住院医师。研究结果表明，在干预前后，当被要求在 1（略有信心）到 10（非常有信心）的量表上对管理有色人种患者的整体信心进行评分时，住院医师的评分显著增加。总的来说，100%的学习者认为，他们照顾有色人种患者的能力通过这门课程得到了提高，并且皮肤颜色课程应该成为他们皮肤科学术课程的年度组成部分。J 皮肤病药物杂志。2021;20(7):786-789.doi:10.36849/JDD.6193.
