Dermatopatholoogy

Program Overview

The Dermatopathology Fellowship Program, which is one year in length, is directed by Dr. M. Abi Daoud, in collaboration with the other members of the Alberta Precision Laboratories Dermatopathology group, and in association with the Division of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, University of Calgary. The Fellow will be primarily located at the Diagnostic and Scientific Centre (DSC) and at Richmond Road Diagnostic and Treatment Centre. 

Statement of Clinical Focus

The purpose of the Dermatopathology Fellowship program is to provide focused post-graduate training to residents wanting to have expertise in skin pathology with the hope to practice primarily within this sub-specialty.  The post-graduate trainee will receive focused training in an excellent breadth of Dermatopathology, both neoplastic and inflammatory conditions, in addition to knowledge within Dermatology as it relates to Dermatopathology.  The trainee, at the end of the Fellowship, will be confident in their ability to sign-out skin cases in whatever job position they pursue.
