“…[26][27][28] The points in favor and in contention of this practice have been discussed at length, and the debate will continue. [26][27][28][29][30][31] Our interest is not in partaking in that discussion and our objective is not to endorse one group over another. Given that a large number of skin specimens are initially read by general pathologists, 1 our inclination lies in investigating the rates of discrepancies between histopathologic diagnoses rendered by general pathologists and dermatopathologists.…”

“…In 2009, 19.2% of dermatology residents used computerbased learning to study dermatopathology. 17 A survey of 132 dermatology and pathology residents found that 23% used virtual slide technology as a requirement in their training program and 71% used Internet image collections for reference and self-directed study. 12 Therefore, because a move toward virtual imaging seems apparent, we sought to investigate diagnostic accuracy and possible factors contributing to residents' preference for glass slides vs. virtual microscopy.…”

“…The total amount of time dedicated to the study of DP within dermatology residency programs is a testament to the importance of DP education and its valued impact on the development of well‐trained clinicians. Previously, it was estimated that 25% of the dermatology residency curriculum was devoted to DP teaching . However, a more recent survey of members of the Association of Professors of Dermatology found that, among the 52 respondent dermatology residency programs, approximately 30% of the training curriculum is now dedicated to DP education .…”

Continuing technological advances are inevitably impacting the study and practice of dermatopathology (DP). We are seeing the transition from glass slide microscopy to virtual microscopy, which is serving both as an accessible educational medium for medical students, residents and fellows in the form of online databases and atlases, as well as a research tool to better inform us regarding the development of visual diagnostic expertise. Expansion in mobile technology is simplifying slide image attainment and providing greater opportunities for phone-and tabletbased microscopy, including teledermatopathology instruction and consultation in resourcepoor areas with lack of specialists. Easily accessible mobile and computer-based applications ("apps"), including myDermPath and Clearpath, are providing an interactive medium for DP instruction. The Internet and social networking sites are enabling rapid global communication of DP information and image-sharing, promoting collaborative diagnostic research and scholastic endeavors.dermatopathology, education, smartphone, tablet, technology, whole slide imaging | INTRODUCTIONThe study of dermatopathology (DP) is crucial to understanding cutaneous disease processes and determining the appropriate clinical management of various conditions. DP education is an essential component of training for dermatology and pathology residents as well as DP fellows. The total amount of time dedicated to the study of DP within dermatology residency programs is a testament to the importance of DP education and its valued impact on the development of well-trained clinicians. Previously, it was estimated that 25% of the dermatology residency curriculum was devoted to DP teaching. | FROM GLASS SLIDE MICROSCOPY TO VIRTUAL MICROSCOPYGlass slide microscopy (GSM) has historically been at the heart of DP and pathology for both diagnostic and teaching purposes. However, recent advances in digital image attainment are now resulting in the concurrent use of virtual microscopy (VM) for DP and pathology education.
