We share a passion for advancing racial and ethnic equity in science, medicine, and health. The aim of our manuscript is to illuminate longstanding racial disparities engrained within the American healthcare system and practice of medicine with a special focus on racial and ethnic diversity within the field of dermatology. We highlight crucial contributory factors that have perpetuated racial and ethnic disparities within the field, such as disparities in provider background, access to care, and resident education. We propose necessary and practical interventions that can improve representation, education, and research, and ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes and dermatological care.
我们都热衷于推动科学、医学和健康领域的种族和民族公平。我们撰写这篇稿件的目的是揭示美国医疗体系和医学实践中长期存在的种族差异,特别关注皮肤科领域内的种族和民族多样性。我们强调了导致该领域种族和民族差异长期存在的关键因素,例如医疗服务提供者背景的差异、获得医疗服务的机会以及住院医师教育方面的差异。我们提出了必要且切实可行的干预措施,这些措施可以改善代表性、教育和研究状况,并最终改善患者治疗效果和皮肤科护理水平。
