N1 - Funding Information: The SOCS has focused on three foundational pillars: education, mentorship, and research. These pillars aim to address diversity, equity, and inclusion within dermatology. To promote skin-of-color education, the SOCS not only hosts expert speakers and research presentations at the Annual SOCS Scientific Symposium, but also provides patients with educational resources online. In addition, the SOCS Networking and Educational Symposia also help increase diversity in dermatologic education. The SOCS is developing a Speakers Bureau, giving leading expert speakers the opportunity to speak on various skin-of-color dermatology topics. To foster mentorship, a 1-year mentorship program is available to connect young physicians (both dermatology residents and young practicing dermatologists) with an approved skin-of-color expert from the SOCS. The SOCS Observership Grant program enables medical students, dermatology residents, or junior faculty to spend a 4-week rotation with an SOCS mentor at their institution. The SOCS and WDS have worked with Procter & Gamble to host a 2‐day summit, called the P&G Science Behind Symposium (Dermatology Technology Symposium), bringing together top health professionals with leading industry scientists, researchers, and marketers to inspire collaboration, innovation, and scientific exchange. The SOCS also supports research in skin-of-color dermatology through annual research grants and career development award opportunities. Collaboration with other dermatologic organizations, such as the Dermatology Section of the National Medical Association, AAD, and Intersociety Task Force, aims to increase the number of underrepresented individuals in medicine (URMs) in dermatology. The Diversity Champions Workshops have been particularly instrumental in the diversification in medicine.
