DiTiDE

DiTiDE plans to make available to Canadian medical school dermatology programs a selection of reference works providing diagnostic and therapeutic knowledge concerning patients with skin of colour

DiTiDE will work with stakeholders to create and distribute a simplified, practical "toolkit" for Canadian healthcare practitioners that provides resources and best practices for serving a diverse patient population

Skin disorders and diseases are known to present differently across the six Fitzpatrick Scale skin types. However, many teaching and diagnostic clinical image collections depict only Caucasian skin or under-represent more richly pigmented skin types. DiTiDE proposes to establish or support the expansion of an image library of dermatologic conditions as presented across the full range of skin types
