The black dermatologist: 1990--a viewpoint.
Despite equivalent training in dermatology and dermatologic surgery, in a traditional sense black dermatologists are overtrained in the area of cancer surgery by virtue of the nature of their black practices. I believe that the survival of black dermatologists in the United States will one day depend upon the adjunctive dermatoplastic skills that they must develop, not only to meet the increasing demand for these procedures by their patients, but to assure a broadening of their economic base to meet their white competition.
