AB Over  the  course  of  my  academic  career,  I  have  been  directly  and  indirectly  involved  in  the  training  of  hundreds  of  young  physicians  in  the  field  of  dermatology.  The  importance  of  dermatopathology  to  the  practicing  dermatologist  cannot  be  overstated.  We  now  have  an  increased  understanding  of  which  mechanisms  contribute  to  the  various  clinical  and  histopathological  findings  associated  with  specific  conditions.  Practicing  dermatopathologists  and  dermatologists  must  be  cognizant  of  not  only  their  respective  differential  diagnoses,  but  also  the  possible  pathological  mechanisms  at  hand  and  how  this  information  may  impact  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  plan.  In  this  modern  era,  there  is  a  need  to  teach  dermatopathology  on  a  scale  that  encompasses  the  intricacies  of  pathogenesis  in  addition  to  clinicopathologic  correlation.
