- Abstract
Dermatology has been cited as the second-least racially diverse medical specialty in the United States. In the last decade, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), the Skin of Color Society (SOCS), the Dermatology Section of the National Medical Association (NMA), and other stakeholders have made significant efforts to increase diversity in dermatology. This study aims to explore the potential impact of these efforts by analyzing sex and ethnic trends in ACGME-accredited dermatology fellowships; Mohs surgery, and dermatopathology, using data from 2011–2021. Our findings reveal that over the last decade, significant strides to increase sex diversity within dermatology have led to a growing number of female resident trainees (62%). This trend is also reflected in Mohs surgery (50%) and dermatopathology (52%) fellowships. In addition, the proportion of Underrepresented in medicine (URiM) fellowship trainees has also increased significantly over the last decade, with a now similar proportion of URiM trainees between dermatology residency, Mohs surgery, and dermatopathology.
