Individuals with skin of color make up the majority of the world's population and a rapidly expanding section of the US population. Future dermatologists must be knowledgeable about dermatologic conditions presenting in patients of various ethnic backgrounds. A 10-question survey was emailed to 109 dermatology residency programs to assess if dermatologists in-training feel that their residency curriculum sufficiently gives them exposure to and education on patients with skin of color. Forty-three residents completed the survey from 5 regions of the United States. Resident responses differed by region. Residents from areas with less diversity were more likely to agree that dedicated skin of color clinics and rotations are important to gain competency compared to residents from areas with more diversity.
