With a shared goal to address disparities in dermatology and close the
gap for patients with skin of color, Vaseline and HUED partnered to
create a space to provide further educational resources for culturally
inclusive practices in the healthcare setting.
This platform was designed to encourage consideration of strategies to
positively and directly impact the health inequities faced by affected
individuals and communities, and offer guidance on providing culturally
competent care. Here, you'll find resources to support you in meeting
the needs of and accurately guiding patients with skin of color, and
raising awareness and understanding of different cultural, physical,
and mental needs. The featured content is tailored for dermatologists,
dermatology advanced care professionals and medical professionals
treating patients with dermatologic concerns.
