Our Mission

Diversity in Dermatology’s mission is to bring a diversified approach to education, community outreach, cultural competency, philanthropy, as well as giving healthcare providers the tools to diversify their personal and professional lives. Our focus is to bring a variety of educational topics to the forefront that will aid in better communication, understanding, and proper treatment for our patients. Diversity in Dermatology offers a specialized approach to education, focusing on topics related to diversity in skin of color, multicultural practices, lifestyle medicine, pediatric dermatology, and transgender medicine. DID believes in positivity, inspiration, and collaboration. Become a DID Member to join a unique group of individuals

Our endeavors include a collaboration with The Dermatologist to allow dermatology PAs and NPs the opportunity to be published and heard by your colleagues, a professional development division, resources for dermatology healthcare providers, virtual and live medical educational and networking opportunities.  Future endeavors include  a foundation for community outreach in underserved areas, provider and patient resources to assist in every day clinical practice and professional growth, and scholarships for undergraduate minorities for PA and NP programs.

We invite you to join as a DID Member for free and become part of an organization that believes in collaboration and diversification through education and networking.
