The Skin Scholarship Program by Lubriderm was launched with the help of the National Hispanic Health Foundation. The skincare brand will award 10 medical students and residents aspiring for a dermatology career $150,000 to serve Hispanic communities.
Lubriderm is a skincare brand developed by dermatologists. Its new dedicated scholarship program aims to increase USH representation and accessibility within the field. According to recent research, only 5% of US dermatologists identity as Hispanic. Lubriderm conducted a survey and discovered that more than a quarter of USH consumers have never visited a dermatologist. These findings pushed the brand to close the racial inequity and representation gap among providers and patients to ensure that all those in need of care will receive it.
