Delivery of dermatopathologic health care in the twenty-first century.
Dermatology and dermatopathology has experienced significant growth over the last century and continues to burgeon. Upheavals as a consequence of the advent of managed care have threatened both specialties, especially with regard to direct access and choice of consultant. The demand for dermatology and dermatopathology services continues to increase, and for patients to be served appropriately, these issues must be addressed.
