Abstract:
Current dermatology residency education may be deficient in curricular topics and training related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Integrating more DEI topics within residency curricula may improve clinical care delivered to diverse populations and improve cultural humility among trainees. The objective of this electronic Delphi (e-Delphi) study was to reach a consensus on the most important DEI topics for inclusion in dermatology residency program curricula nationwide. Sixty-one DEI-related topics were proposed by an expert panel consisting of dermatologists from the Association of Professors of Dermatology DEI subcommittee and the American Academy of Dermatology Diversity Task Force. Two rounds of anonymous electronic surveys based on a 5-point Likert scale were administered using a modified e-Delphi design. Voluntary participants including residents and academic dermatologists were self-selected after an email was sent to the Association of Professors of Dermatology listserve.
