Decolonizing Dermatology: Indigenous Health Conditions

Dear Friends, Family & Loved Ones,

If you're interested in learning about why we need to decolonize dermatology and how we can do so, you are invited to join the Peer Medical Foundation to learn about how racism pervades dermatology, what current and future healthcare providers can do to address this, and about the unique skincare needs of people of colour.

We are also extremely proud to host Guest Speaker, Anna Chacon, a board-certified dermatologist who has experience working with indigenous tribes such as Arctic Slope Native Association, Lake County tribal health consortium, Seminole Tribe of Florida. She is the first and only dermatologist to work and serve the Alaskan Bush, referring to the region of the state that is not connected to any road networks and does not have ready access to waterways or the state’s ferry system, flying on bush planes to see patients in villages in the most remote and rural areas of the country. She practices in person in Florida, Alaska, and California, and also works as a teledermatologist, the only dermatologist with 52 medical licenses, including all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Register now to listen to his story, work and come support her in advocating for increased diversity in medicine

Date and time: Thursday, December 29 from 10:00 to 12:00 PM EST

Truly,

Team PMF
