The AAD Learning Center is one of the Academy’s top member benefits and one of the newest online resources is the Skin of Color Curriculum.

A host of expert dermatologists in all subspecialties contributed to making the Skin of Color Curriculum a complete and definitive in-patient and out-patient curriculum for the diagnosis and effective treatment of skin, hair, and nail diseases and conditions in patients with skin of color.

Completion of the curriculum will help you diagnose dermatologic conditions of the skin, hair, and nails in patients, both adult and pediatric, with skin of color — and you can earn 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.

Completion of the course will help you:

  • Diagnose dermatologic conditions of the skin, hair, and nails in patients, both adult and pediatric, with skin of color.

  • Identify and prevent dermatologic surgical and cosmetic complications in patients with skin of color.

  • Discuss systemic challenges facing people with skin of color in pursuing careers in medicine and identify mechanisms to mentor students in the pipeline.

  • Recognize existing health care disparities in medicine as well as how to identify implicit bias and microaggressions.
