Abstract:
The study of dermatopathology is integral to the educational curricula for budding dermatologists and pathologists. Over the past decade, instruction in dermatopathology has rapidly evolved with the advent of slide scanners, virtual microscopy, social media, and online slide libraries. Recently, the Association of Professors of Dermatology (APD) met to discuss effective approaches for trainee education in dermatopathology given this new breadth of resources available. In this article, we conduct a scoping review of the literature discussing educational methods in dermatopathology, present strategies gleaned from the recent APD meeting, and highlight effective takeaways for structuring residency dermatopathology curricula.
