Abstract:
The increasing diversification of the United States has led to more racially and ethnically discordant visits between health care providers and patients; this is especially true in dermatology due to the lack of diversity in the field. Diversifying the health care workforce has been shown to reduce health care disparities and is an ongoing goal of dermatology. Improving cultural competence and humility among physicians is an important part of addressing health care inequities. This article reviews cultural competence, cultural humility, and practices dermatologists can incorporate to address this challenge.
