The goal is to improve each physician and clinician's clinicopathologic correlation which leads to better patient management. About It is now more important than ever to understand the importance of the close cross-fertilization that occurs among dermatology, dermatopathology, and industry. In order to plan optimal treatment and provide the best patient care, correlation between dermatologists and pathologists is crucial.
