Contextualizing the clinic: A model for history and ethics curricula in graduate medical education

The Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education requires ethics education for dermatology trainees; however, less than half of the American dermatology residencies currently include ethics in their curriculum. Barriers to establishing ethics curricula in dermatology residences include time restraints, lack of useful resources, and lack of faculty with expertise in dermatoethics. We suggest a hybrid education model, involving a mix of virtual, lecture-based, and case-based didactics to incorporate ethics education longitudinally in dermatology residencies. Subject matter should align with the American Academy of Dermatology subcommittee's six domains of ethics education.
