Dear Editor, Not only is dermatology education in undergraduate medical education (UME) limited, given only 12% of US medical schools have a dedicated preclinical dermatology curriculum,[1] studies also show an underrepresentation of skin of colour (SOC) and culturally competent dermatology teaching such as sexual and gender diverse (SGD) education.[2] This leaves physician graduates underprepared to provide multiculturally sensitive dermatological care. We propose that a dermatology elective such as this offers an opportunity for medical schools to include culturally competent education in their UME curricula by highlighting racial, ethical and historical injustices in medicine and the field of dermatology.
