Dermatopathology Fellowship

Description: The Dermatopathology Fellowship at The Ohio State University is a 12-month program.  Training in dermatopathology is done synchronously with pathology or dermatology depending on the fellow's prior experience.  The pathology experience is provided in the Department of Pathology with emphasis on surgical pathology.  Dermatology experience is patient care oriented with the fellow assigned patients in a clinic setting in the Division of Dermatology.

The dermatopathology portion of the fellowship involves service, teaching and clinical or basic research.

The fellow conducts a weekly teaching conference with dermatology residents using appropriate slide material to review common and unusual cases.  The fellow is expected to develop a research interest and prepare a paper suitable for presentation at a national meeting and publication.  Opportunities for basic research are available.  Most techniques of molecular biology are available, allowing for the development of individual research projects.  The Department of Pathology has laboratory techniques and instrumentation expected at a tertiary care center.
