Research & Quality Improvement

Evidence that drives inclusive practice.

We pair education with rigorous quality improvement, publication and conference engagement — building a credible evidence base for inclusive medical practice.

Quality Improvement

Measured impact across three teaching cycles.

A targeted teaching intervention on dermatology in darker skin tones, delivered to 50 learners over three iterative QI cycles. Confidence rated by learners on a 0–10 scale, pre and post teaching.

Confidence: pre vs post teaching

Self-reported confidence on a 0–10 scale per session.

Baseline range: 2.8 – 4.1 / 10

Key learning themes

Visual learning

Diverse clinical images proved highly effective for recognition.

Case-based discussion

Improved clinical reasoning and diagnostic understanding.

Structured delivery

Clear teaching architecture enhanced knowledge retention.

Learner feedback

Strengths

  • Clear, structured teaching
  • High-quality, diverse images
  • Clinically relevant content
Learner feedback

Areas for improvement

  • More interactivity
  • Additional case-based questions
  • OSCE-style practice
  • Expanded image library
Conclusion

Targeted teaching on dermatology in darker skin tones significantly improves learner confidence, addresses a clear gap in medical education, and supports ongoing development through iterative QI cycles.
