UW Medicine launches program on skin of color in medical training
Original: ‘Skin of color’ program focuses on what textbooks miss
University of Washington Medicine has launched a program dedicated to 'skin of color', addressing gaps in medical textbooks and training where dermatological conditions are often illustrated and described only on lighter skin. The initiative aims to improve diagnosis and care for patients with darker skin tones by teaching clinicians how conditions actually present across different skin colors.
Why now: Concerns about racial bias and gaps in medical education have drawn attention to efforts that correct how textbooks teach skin conditions.
