Dermatopathology: Learn how to diagnose skin diseases
Understand your patient's dermatopathology diagnostic report to provide better clinical care
case-based learning: diagnostic features of skin diseaSE
Understand your patient's dermatopathology diagnostic report and provide better care
Are you a clinical provider seeing patients with skin lesions or rash? Our website will familiarize physician assistants (PA), nurse practitioner (NP), internists or general practitioners (MD), dermatology residents (MD) and dermatologists (MD) with diagnostic terms and histologic criteria. It could enable the provider with a better understanding of the dermatopathology report. In turn, this could enhance your management of the patient's skin condition. (derm path diagnostics)
Review or test your knowledge of dermatopathology and diagnostic criteria
Are you a pathology resident, surgical pathologist (examining skin biopsies in your practice) or dermatopathologist? You will review your knowledge of various diagnoses through exposure to a wide variety of actual histologic cases, accompanied by clinical information. Every case will feature categories like teaching points, minimal diagnostic criteria, and list of differential diagnoses. Moreover, the results for ancillary testing will be discussed when appropriate. We believe that these should enhance your diagnostic acumen.

Using our website will improve your understating of skin pathology through learning histopathology, appropriate clinical information and ancillary testing. These will help the clinician, or provider, understand the report wording to maker better clinicopathologic correlation.
Case-based learning from actual examples will take you through the histologic diagnostic criteria for most common skin diseases, used by board-certified practicing dermatopathologists. The utility of ancillary testing, e.g. special stains, immunohistochemistry, direct immunofluorescence and molecular testing will also be emphasized.
New feature: Lectures on specific subjects will be available. (derm path diagnostics)
