Dermatopathology Core Exam
• Dr. Anand’s Video Series (Skin Path Solutions) - These were originally posted on
YouTube after her paid course but have since been taken down. The full set is ~27
hours, but you can speed them up to get through them faster. They’re a great final
review, helping you understand key differentials, high-yield facts, how to approach
virtual slides, and common distractor answers.
• Virtual Slides on Path Presenter - Navigate to:
a. High Yield Cases → Dermatology/Dermatopathology → Enter →
Dermatology/Dermatopathology → Enter
b. There are 325 cases—takes time but very worth it for virtual slide navigation
practice.

dermpath chapter, a great way to reinforce key concepts.

signed up for any that fit my study timeline. Some are better than others. I
personally did:

• UPenn Review (highly recommend)
• Dermpath Review Video by Dr. Jared Gardner & Dr. Rajendra Singh - Dr. Singh’s
section on inflammatory dermpath is especially good. Watch here
• Georgie’s Lectures - High-yield reviews with great photos. Available on OneDrive:
OneDrive → Shared → 2024-2025 Conferences → Dermpath Lecture
• Resources I Didn’t Use (but others found helpful)
• Sagis Dermpath Educational Library (Sheetal said this was useful)
