A Dermatopathology expert witness is a specialized Dermatologist or Pathologist who testifies on the microscopic diagnosis or skin cancer and skin disease. Dermatopathology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis of benign and malignant skin diseases. Dermatopathologists use microscopes, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, genomics, and other advanced technologies to analyze skin biopsies for diagnostic purposes. Given the fact that there are over 1500 dermatologic conditions with more being added every year, the field of dermatopathology is inherently complex. The role of the Dermatopathology expert witness is equally challenging.
ABMS board certification in Dermatopathology requires a medical degree (M.D.) followed by residency training in Dermatology or Pathology, and a subsequent fellowship in Dermatopathology. Dermatopathlogists work in labs and private offices to interpret skin biopsies sent from Dermatologists, Plastic Surgeons, and General Surgeons.
