During the fellowship, those trained as dermatologists receive training in anatomic pathology, and those previously trained in pathology are exposed to clinical dermatology in one of the leading Dermatology departments in the world. Additional training may include immunopathology, electron microscopy, molecular biology and cytologic studies.
