Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that medical students demonstrate poorer performance when diagnosing pathology in skin of colour (SOC) compared to white skin (WS); it is important to understand the reasons underpinning this. If not addressed, poorer differential diagnostic ability in certain skin tones could entrench existing racial ...
