Curriculum
Our dermatopathology fellowship is organized into three rotations: dermatopathology service rotation, clinical dermatology rotation and surgical pathology and cytopathology rotation.
Fellows devote the afternoons to the dermatopathology rotation, where they have the opportunity to study a diverse mix of cases drawn from Baylor Scott & White dermatology clinics throughout Central Texas.
During the initial eight months of training, fellows dedicate mornings to either clinical dermatology or surgical pathology, depending on whether they have completed residency training in dermatology or in pathology. All rotations take place at the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple.
