“…Recent publications highlight ethical/professional issues in a variety of medical specialties 1‐3 . However, there are few reports in the medical literature regarding ethical/professional issues specific to pathology, and even fewer to dermatopathology 4‐8 . With trends in the field like corporatization (ie, consolidation of laboratories, investment by private equity firms and other for‐profit companies), development of dermatopathology laboratories within dermatology practices, and unique billing arrangements, ethical/professional issues in dermatopathology are more prevalent and important than ever.…”

Background Data regarding ethical/professional issues affecting dermatopathologists are lacking despite their importance in establishing policy priorities and educational content for dermatopathology. Methods A 14‐item cross‐sectional survey about ethical/professional issues in dermatopathology was distributed over e‐mail to members of the American Society of Dermatopathology from June to September 2019. Results Two hundred sixteen surveys were completed, with a response rate of 15.3%. Respondents ranked appropriate and fair utilization of healthcare resources (n = 83 or 38.6%) as the most often encountered ethical/professional issue. Conflict of interest was ranked as the most urgent or important ethical/professional issue (n = 83 or 39.3%). One hundred thirty‐three (61.6%) respondents felt “somewhat” or “not at all” well equipped to handle ethical dilemmas in practice and 47 (22.8%) respondents identified a major or extreme burden (eg, have considered resigning/retiring) due to ethical challenges. Conclusions Areas of priority in ethics and professionalism issues can guide future policy and educational content in dermatopathology.

The practice of dermatopathology faces unique quandaries regarding ethics and professionalism. While anecdotes exist and a recent quantitative survey has been reported, 1 no qualitative research has focused on ethical and professional concerns of dermatopathologists. [2][3][4][5] To address this knowledge deficit, we performed qualitative analyses on free-text case responses about ethical/professionalism issues encountered by American Society of Dermatopathology (ASDP) members using an anonymous cross-sectional survey. | MATERIALS AND METHODSAfter IRB approval, members of ASDP were surveyed using methods described previously. 1 Participants were asked to "briefly describe (in one paragraph) a recent case or scenario you've experienced that was ethically challenging in your practice of dermatopathology," excluding all identifiers. Free-text responses were coded by three researchers (medical student, dermatology resident, and qualitative research analyst) using directed content analysis with MAXQDA software (VERBI, Berlin, Germany). A structured codebook was developed with deductive codes that included eight categories of ethical challenges presented in the quantitative survey a priori, as well as inductive codes from the qualitative data revisions. The codebook was revised iteratively to ensure reliability. The senior author reviewed the codes and resolved disagreements. Codes were organized to synthesize key themes and subthemes of challenging ethical scenarios reported by ASDP members.Frequencies of themes and subthemes were summarized. | RESULTSAcross four survey distributions, 1497 unique respondents were sent surveys, and 172 free-text responses were submitted (free-text response rate 11.5%). From this, 284 partial quotes were isolated as units of analysis containing single subthemes. Overarching themes were generated from
