Abstract
Underrepresented in medicine (URiM) are individuals from racial and ethnic populations that are underrepresented in the medical field relative to their numbers in the general population. International medical graduates (IMGs) compose a significant percentage of URiM individuals, with a meaningful role in the current US health care workforce. Currently, there is limited data on IMGs in dermatology. In this paper, we wish to showcase reliable data about the IMG pool and highlight their value in diversifying dermatology in order to better serve our patients and provide culturally competent care.Entities:
