Abstract
A recent resolution with approximately 100 signatories entitled "Sunsetting All Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs" administered by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) sparked controversial debate within the field. Despite the AAD voting against the proposal to eliminate DEI initiatives, many underrepresented medical groups wondered how to move forward and create safe spaces for everyone. We discuss the relevance of DEI programs in today's society and the ethical challenges that may arise. We conclude with actionable recommendations on how organizations can improve their current DEI strategies to ensure they are more inclusive and not perceived as discriminatory.
