PATIENTS & PUBLIC
We are thrilled to be a part of a groundbreaking virtual series in collaboration with the New England Journal of Medicine Group (NEJM Group) and VisualDx, which brings together Skin of Color Society experts, thought leaders and other advocates in collaborative discussions addressing issues of health disparities, structural racism and medicine, while examining specific dermatologic diseases affecting patients of color. This informative series consists of four free and open educational webinars occurring from October 28-December 2, 2020, with recordings of each session available after each program.

Due to COVID-19, the 16th Annual Skin of Color Society Scientific Symposium was reimagined as a virtual experience, created and curated so that SOCS members and colleagues from around the world could partake in the program from the safety and comfort of their own homes or offices.
The Skin of Color Society hosted another successful networking event in Williamsburg, Virginia at the Woodlands resort on October 26, 2019. The event took place during the Virginia Dermatology Society’s annual Continuing Medical Education meeting and was well attended by guests representing various corners of the commonwealth. Network attendees varied from medical students, dermatology resident, academicians, private practitioners, members of the Virginia Dermatology society as well as leadership from the American academy of Dermatology.
