Health disparities exist in marginalized patient populations throughout medical specialties, including in dermatology. It is important that the physician workforce reflect the diversity of the US population to address these disparities. At present, the dermatology workforce does not reflect the racial or ethnic diversity of the US population. The subspecialties of pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology, and dermatologic surgery are even less diverse than the dermatology workforce as a whole. Although women make up over half of the population of dermatologists, disparities still exists in areas such as compensation and presence in leadership positions.
在包括皮肤科在内的各个医学专业中，边缘化患者群体中存在健康差距。医生队伍反映美国人口的多样性对于解决这些差距很重要。目前，皮肤科医生队伍并不反映美国人口的种族或族裔多样性。儿科皮肤科、皮肤病理学和皮肤科手术等专业甚至比整个皮肤科医生队伍的多样性更小。尽管女性占皮肤科医生人数的一半以上，但在薪酬和领导职位方面仍存在差距。
