Dr. Daphne Chan, a dermatologist, says it's important to establish a 'human to human connection' with patients seeking skin care, especially for people of color.

Students attend a “Dermatology Career Prep” session to encourage more minorities to become dermatologists at George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health on Thursday, June 27, 2024. Dr. Daphne Chan, a dermatologist, says it’s important to establish a “human to human connection” with patients seeking skin care, especially for people of color.

The program, called Pathways, was held at George Washington University, where a diverse group of pre-med students were trained in a variety of skills, from how to perform certain procedures to clinical photography during the “Dermatology Career Prep” event. In 2020, just 65 of the 796 applicants for dermatology residencies were Black or African American, and only 39 were Hispanic, Latino, or of Spanish origin, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
