Disparities in health care exist because of socioeconomic factors, structural racism, and implicit bias. Panelists will identify the problems and discuss what solutions are in place that could improve health disparities such as medical education, training more underrepresented-minority physicians, more funding for research, and fast-tracking publication of research.
This is Part 1 of a series of virtual panel discussions, “The Impact of Skin Color and Ethnicity on Clinical Diagnosis and Research,” that calls attention to health disparities and structural racism in medicine. Brought to you by the Skin of Color Society, NEJM Group, and VisualDx.
