Skin Cancer and Black Skin
![Feature image](https://healthsci.mcmaster.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/skin-cancer-and-black-skin.jpg)
In this video, we aim to educate people of colour on the dangers of skin cancer, as well as address the systemic racism that is within the field of dermatology. There is an obvious lack of representation of darker skin tones (types IV-VI) in medical textbooks and this video aims to address these issues.
