Cultural Sensitivity and Best Treatment Practices for Pediatric Skin of Color Patients
Pediatric patients with skin of color (SoC) can be disproportionately affected by a number of dermatologic conditions, including acne vulgaris, atopic dermatitis, and traction alopecia. It is imperative that providers are able to recognize and appropriately treat these conditions in their pediatric SoC patients. Going beyond basic treatment guidelines, there are steps clinicians can be taking to practice cultural sensitivity when treating patients and communicating with parents and caregivers. Led by the foremost experts in SoC dermatology, this activity will serve to help providers recognize disparities and adjust their practices to accommodate the needs of pediatric patients with darker pigmented skin.
Target Audience
This activity is targeted to US-based pediatricians, nurses and professional staff members of medical practices specializing in pediatric skin conditions.
Learning Objectives
- Review current and emerging treatments for acne patients, including recommendations for treating the pediatric patient population.
- Develop appropriate treatment plans for pediatric acne patients with skin of color according to expert recommendations
- Review current and emerging AD treatments for pediatric patients.
- Recognize the ways in which pediatric AD patients with SOC are affected in terms of managing their condition.
