Due to globalization, dermatologists routinely see patients of different ethnicities and skin tones. Surveys from the US have shown that dermatologists felt that their training was lacking in diagnosing dermatoses in skin-of-color patients. Underrepresentation of skin of color in dermatology textbooks has been reported. We evaluated clinical images in selected pediatric dermatology textbooks with regard to skin color.
由于全球化,皮肤科医生经常会诊治不同种族和肤色的患者。美国的调查显示,皮肤科医生觉得他们在诊断有色人种患者的皮肤病方面缺乏相关培训。有报道称,皮肤科教科书中有色人种皮肤的内容较少。我们针对皮肤颜色对选定的儿科皮肤科教科书中的临床图像进行了评估。
