Instead of enjoying our annual derm meeting in peace, we spent the first day fighting for the future of the field! -Dermatology is one of the least diverse, most competitive fields of medicine. -It does not adequately educate its trainees to provide care for patients of all skin/hair types. -Our patients share how they have been told by some of their dermatologists, they do not feel comfortable treating them due to the color of their skin and/or texture of their hair. Yet, there are many who want programs/policies to address these issues eradicated! Even more insulting, some stated that allowing more under represented minorities into dermatology may lower standards for patient care. Clearly, they forgot how patient care for those with skin of color is already not great in this field. We are tired of fighting to prove that #WEBELONGHERE ✊🏾 . . . . . #dei #boardcertifieddermatologist #representationmatters #blackdoctorsmatter #skinofcolor #skinofcolorexperts
𝗗𝗘𝗜 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗔𝗗//🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏼🙌🏻 𝗗𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 this past weekend. We strongly appreciate all our colleagues and friends who worked tirelessly in front & behind the scenes to keep the AAD DEI initiative alive. We appreciate the overwhelming show of support for diversity by members from literally all backgrounds, race, religion, ethnicity, gender & sexual identities that stood side by side to make this possible. This was not the first time DEI has come under attack in our specialty but we hope it’s the last…either way, we stand ready. A special thanks to @drdinamd @jeaninedownie @drwendyrobertsyouthbooster for taking the initiative to write the resolutions that lead to the outcome we now celebrate. #aad2024 #dermatology #skin #blackdoctors #diversity
