Advocacy Committee

The Advocacy Committee provides strategic guidance, advice, and recommendations to the Board of Directors, with a focus on advancing high-quality dermatologic care for individuals with skin of color. The committee addresses both current and emerging public policy issues that impact the delivery of care and works to promote the interests of skin of color dermatology in legislative and regulatory arenas. Through active advocacy, the committee aims to guide SOCS on policies that support physicians, ensure equitable access to care for patients with skin of color, and advance the field of dermatology in both public and professional settings.
