Recently published research has detected discrepancies in medical care as a result of skin color in Anglo-American countries. This was partly attributed to the fact that medical and dermatological specialist training textbooks were found to consist of examples and material that could be classified as more than 90 % white and fair skin (Fitzpatrick's skin types I-III), including pictures in textbooks and scientific literature used as standard reference works. This systematic review reveals similar findings for German dermatological textbooks and consequently gives rise to the question of whether current medical training and practice in Germany adequately meets the needs of a population that is becoming ever more diverse.
最近发表的研究发现,在英裔美国人群体中,由于皮肤颜色的不同,导致医疗服务出现了差异。这在一定程度上是因为人们发现,医学和皮肤科专业培训教材中包含的例子和材料,超过 90%属于白种人和浅色皮肤(Fitzpatrick 皮肤类型 I-III),包括教材和科学文献中的图片,这些都被用作标准参考资料。这项系统性回顾还发现德国皮肤科教材中也存在类似的情况,因此人们不禁要问,目前德国的医学培训和实践是否足以满足日益多样化的人群的需求。
