Published: October 2005

An indispensable component of all pathology and dermatology residencies is obtaining proficiency in the area of dermatopathology. The purpose of this study is to quantify dermatopathology training in pathology and dermatology residencies and the amount of continuing medical education in dermatopathology in leading journals of both fields. Dermatology residents complete more hours of dermatopathology than pathology residents. There is also more dermatopathology in the dermatology literature than in the pathology literature. Dermatopathology falls into the scope of both pathology and dermatology practice.
