AB As  the  population  of  the  United  States  diversifies  at  an  increasingly  rapid  rate,  the  need  for  healthcare  providers  skilled  in  treating  skin  conditions  for  patients  of  all  ethnic  and  racial  groups  continues  to  grow.  As  a  result,  Hispanic  American  dermatologists  have  become  key  players  in  the  dermatology  community.  Hispanic  dermatologists  account  for  only  4.8%  of  all  dermatologists  in  the  United  States.1  Given  the  rise  in  the  Hispanic  population,  this  figure  is  disproportionately  low.  From  2012  to  2060,  the  Hispanic  population  in  the  United  States  is  expected  to  grow  from  53.3  million  to  128.8  million.2  By  the  end  of  that  period,  nearly  one  in  every  three  U.S.  residents  will  be  of  Hispanic  descent,  up  from  about  one  in  six  today.2
