- Title
DT05: Is skin of colour appropriately represented in undergraduate resources for dermatological conditions covered in the new national medical licensing assessment?
- Abstract
The findings of our study highlight that there is still significant under-representation of type V-VI skin across commonly used dermatology resources, and the introduction of the MLA provides a valuable opportunity to improve this. Katie Creamer, SP 1 sp Shagayegh Javadzadeh, SP 1 sp Leila Ferguson, SP 1 sp Vanessa Pinder SP 2 sp and Zainab Jiyad SP 1 sp SP I 1 i sp I St George's University Hospital and i SP I 2 i sp I Epsom and St Helier University Hospital, London, UK i The General Medical Council is introducing the Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA), which UK medical students graduating in 2024-25 are required to pass before joining the medical register. The proportion of pictures that represented type V-VI skin for each of the dermatology conditions listed in the MLA curriculum was collected using two assessors in a consistent environment.
