Dermatopathology Fellowship

The goal of this fully approved program is training and certification in dermatopathology that will produce future leaders in clinical or academic practice. One or two years are offered that encompass comprehensive exposure to diagnostic dermatopathology, immunodermatology, correlative clinical dermatology and research.

The physical and administrative location of the Dermatopathology Division in the Department of Dermatology affords routine clinical/patient interaction. Opportunities to interface with members of the Pathology Department are integral to the program. Exposure to immunofluorescence microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and diagnostic molecular biology is offered. Fellows assume teaching responsibilities at the Medical School, residency, staff and post graduate levels. Areas of specialized faculty expertise include malignant melanoma, cutaneous lymphoma, psoriasis, bullous disorders, nail disorders, alopecia, and infectious diseases of the skin.
