Dermatopathology classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Monday classes are for resident doctors and are on focused topics. As shown in the table, the yearlong course covers wide areas of dermatology. From this year Instructor Yasuyuki Fujita will be teaching the class.
He succeeds Dr. Kodama, who had given it for five years, including after he left the department and the university. I would like to extend my gratitude to him for his enthusiastic teaching.

For the Wednesday classes, the resident doctors and students in the clinical practice program examine and study pathological specimens that are provided in advance and are used at the CPC on Wednesdays. The Wednesday classes are taught by Professor Shimizu.

Cultivating good judgment in dermatopathology is indispensable for a qualified dermatologist. I hope that the resident doctors will further train themselves through the dermatopathology course.
