DESCRIPTION:\n	Join clinical experts\, thought leaders\, and advocates f
	or a collaborative discussion on the issues of health disparities\, struct
	ural racism\, and medicine as they examine specific dermatologic diseases 
	in a series of four free and open educational webinars from the Harvard Me
	dical School. \n\n\n\n		Structural racism and racial bias in medicine: W
	ednesday\, October 28\, 1:00-2:15 PM ET\n	\n	\n		Hair disorders in people 
	of colour: Thursday\, November 12\, 1:00-2:15 PM ET\n	\n	\n		Pigmentary d
	isorders and keloids: Wednesday\, November 18\, 1:00-2:15 PM ET\n	\n	\n		
	COVID-19 Comorbidities and cutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases i
	n adults and children: Wednesday\, December 2\, 1:00-2:15 PM ET\n	\n\n	Im
	plicit bias and structural racism play a central role in the development o
	f healthcare disparities. One of the critically important areas in medicin
	e is the misdiagnosis of disease in people with darker skin types due to i
	mplicit bias and the lack of awareness among physicians in recogniszing th
	e disease pattern. Clinicians in primary care\, emergency medicine\, hospi
	tal medicine\, surgery\, pediatrics\, and other medical specialties can de
	liver improved care if they can recognize and diagnose medical conditions 
	based on skin findings in patients of color. This four-part series aims to
	 improve diagnosis in people of color\, describe pathogenesis and treatmen
	t of diseases\, develop cultural competency\, and impact change in health 
	care policy so more is done to reduce racial bias in medical practice and 
	medical research. Providing this education\, in turn\, will ultimately hel
	p reduce health disparities and improve the lives of underrepresented mino
	rity populations.\n\n\n\n	Register for one event or all four.\n
