[Teaching formats for improving medical students' competence in managing skin diseases in patients with skin of color: a literature review].

Skin diseases affecting people with skin of color (SoC; Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI) have not been given adequate attention in dermatological training in Germany. This study aims to present teaching formats developed to improve medical students' skills in managing these diseases. A literature search was conducted in PubMed Medline using predefined criteria, which resulted in seven studies being included. Most of the teaching formats were offered on a voluntary basis, with participant numbers ranging from 20 to 172. Our review shows that interventions focusing on SoC in dermatological education can enhance medical students' diagnostic abilities and subjective confidence in their skills. This overview may serve as a foundation for further integrating diversity-sensitive teaching into medical education.
