The American Academy of Dermatology has taken an active stance in addressing the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the specialty. At the American Academy of Dermatology President's Conference on Diversity in Dermatology, which was held on August 5, 2017, key action items to increase the number of practicing board-certified dermatologists who are under-represented in medicine (UIM) were identified in 3 main areas. The action items include increasing the pipeline of UIM students applying to medical school, increasing UIM medical students' exposure to the field of dermatology and their level of interest in it, and increasing the number of UIM students recruited into dermatology residency programs.

美国皮肤科学院对解决该专业缺乏种族和民族多样性的问题采取了积极的立场。在2017年8月5日举行的美国皮肤科学院皮肤病学多样性主席会议上，主要增加了3个主要领域，这些主要行动项目是增加医学中代表性不足的执业医师认证的皮肤科医生的数量地区。行动项目包括增加UIM学生申请医学院的渠道，增加UIM医学学生对皮肤病学领域的兴趣和对其的兴趣水平，以及增加被招募至皮肤病住院医师计划的UIM学生的数量。
