dermatopathology fellowship

A dermatopathology fellowship is specialized medical training for pathologists who focus on diagnosing skin diseases. After completing general pathology training, fellows spend an additional year studying skin biopsies and tissue samples under the microscope to identify conditions like skin cancers, infections, and inflammatory disorders. This advanced expertise helps dermatologists and other physicians determine precise diagnoses, guiding effective treatment plans. The fellowship combines detailed microscopic analysis with knowledge of dermatology, ultimately improving patient outcomes through accurate disease identification.
