As we know, quality healthcare is not always equally accessible to everyone who needs it, and the field of dermatology is no exception. This session will bring to light some of the racial/ethnic- and gender-based gaps in the management of common skin conditions. It will also look at differences in cost, treatment regimens, and patient satisfaction along those lines.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define health and healthcare disparities
  • Summarize racial and ethnic health and healthcare disparities related to psoriasis
  • Describe approaches to address racial and ethnic health and healthcare disparities related to psoriasis
