Importance of Ethnic Dermatology
Ethnic dermatology is a growing field of medicine that focuses on the unique skin conditions and concerns of migrants and ethnic minorities. These populations often face barriers to accessing healthcare, including language barriers, cultural differences, and lack of culturally competent providers. Ethnic dermatology training courses can help to address these barriers by providing healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to provide effective care to patients from all backgrounds.
