METHODS: A survey was distributed to the PSOCG members to assess expert opinion regarding critical topics for inclusion in a basic PSOC syllabus. Video conference and two rounds of survey were used to rank topics for inclusion and to highlight the underlying need for inclusion.
RESULTS: Group members composed of academic pediatric dermatologists with teaching responsibilities including skin of color topics for dermatology residents and medical students. Learning objectives were developed for an educational lecture on basic science, and clinical conditions affecting PSOC were grouped by age-infantile, pediatric, and adolescent skin conditions affecting the PSOC population were identified for inclusion with rank score based on specific parameters including greater frequency in skin of color, nuances in skin of color, and need for medical workup.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased focus on PSOC education is needed to improve quality of care for children of color through enhanced knowledge. Inflammatory, genetic, and particularly primary pigmentary disorders should be the focus of a broad curriculum in pediatric skin of color education for medical trainees. Objectives should include improved diagnosis, treatment, and ability to educate patients and their families regarding the nature of their conditions.
方法:向PSOCG成员分发了一项调查,以评估专家对纳入基本PSOC教学大纲的关键主题的意见。视频会议和两轮调查用于对纳入主题进行排名,并强调纳入的基本需求。
结果:小组成员由学术儿科皮肤科医生组成,其教学职责包括皮肤科居民和医学生的肤色主题。为基础科学教育讲座制定了学习目标,影响PSOC的临床状况按婴儿年龄分组,儿科,和影响PSOC人群的青少年皮肤状况被确定为包括基于特定参数的排名得分,包括更高的肤色频率,肤色的细微差别,需要医疗检查。
结论:需要增加对PSOC教育的关注,以通过增强知识来提高对有色人种儿童的护理质量。炎症,遗传,尤其是原发性色素性疾病应该成为医学受训者儿科肤色教育广泛课程的重点。目标应包括改善诊断,治疗,以及教育患者及其家人了解病情性质的能力。
