The George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) and Pfizer Global Medical Grants are collaborating to offer a grant program focused on broad implementation of GW&rsquo;s Teledermatology Help Desk Clinic model in underserved areas across the United States. &ldquo;During the pandemic, the healthcare divide became even more apparent across many underserved areas,&rdquo; said Adam Friedman, M.D., chair of Dermatology and residency program director at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences. &ldquo;However, as telemedicine enhanced access to dermatologic medical care for many, we also noticed that the divide itself was widened not just because there was a health desert &ndash; but now there&rsquo;s also a technology desert.&rdquo;In this exclusive interview, Dr. Friedman spoke to Urban Health Today about dermatology disparities in underserved communities, and about the mission and importance of this grant program.
