摘要
Several calls to action have been made in response to the lack of racial diversity in dermatology, but we have yet to explore how differences in social capital perpetuate homogeneity in dermatology training programs and the workforce. Herein, the concept of social capital is applied to this problem in dermatology and is used as a scaffold to suggest interventions that may ameliorate the systemic barriers faced by underrepresented-in-medicine (UIM) students.
