New article highlighting the benefit of a dedicated Skin of Color (SOC) clinic @unmc

SOC clinic patients have greater clinic utilization with fewer missed appointments despite additional disparities to receiving care.

6% is not enough! Only 6% of U.S. physicians are Latino, though 19% of the population identifies as such. #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay calls for change—let's amplify the need for more Latino physicians and improve health outcomes. https://t.co/vB3yquPVzv #NLPD

So proud of my mentee @akinwuntan7 for her work with @ILDSDerm and @WHO this last year. Read her words about her experience as the first ILDS/WHO intern this past year, and how she helped launch several OpenWHO courses! @IFDerm #dermtwitter https://t.co/wC498M8Nk1

@sciqst Hi Dr. Di Giacomo, thank you for your interest in our work! Without having done any official investigation, I’d be curious to know if the alopecia may be attributable to telogen effluvium secondary to the stress of rapid weight loss. Further research is absolutely needed!

[Bianca Ituarte @Ituarte_Bianca]

#GLP1 medications are hot right now! Currently #semaglutide, #tirzepatide, and #liraglutide are FDA-approved for weight loss.

Each experiencing growth in reported derm side effects- namely #rash, #pruritus, #hyperhidrosis, #urticaria and #alopecia

✨New Pub✨ Cost disparities for outpatient dermatology visits among medicare beneficiaries in urban and rural regions of the United States

Though #Medicare payments are significantly lower in #rural areas, this creates a real impact on patient wallets!

Welcome Mitch!! This was a fascinating project highlighting the work still needing to be done to increase knowledge surrounding skin in the transgender population.

[Mitchell Taylor, MD @MitchellAl81481]

We agree and are glad to shed light on the disparities seen with cutaneous LMS! Thank you for your comment

[Suzie Siegel @SuzieSiegel]

We have known that women with #leiomyosarcoma do worse than men in general, but some of us have thought that's because of late diagnosis of uterine LMS. It's concerning that the disparity also occurs in skin LMS. #sarcoma

Interesting findings considering this analysis EXCLUDES any mortality contribution from uterine leiomyosarcomas!
