title: Dermatopathology education: an update.
abstract: Dermatopathology (DP) education is critical to the comprehensive training of dermatology and pathology residents and to the accurate diagnosis and management of cutaneous disease. DP has seen tremendous growth, and its success depends on our ability to effectively educate future leaders, teachers, and researchers who will continue to advance the field. This article focuses on DP education in the United States, although specific components, such as assessment of medical education and the future of DP education, are relevant to the larger DP community. It is hoped that this review will aid in discussions of direction and collaboration.
