Thereafter, an additional 1 or 2 years of post-residency education in dermatopathology is undertaken. For trainees with a primary background in pathology, the fellowship experience includes the equivalent of 6 months of clinical dermatology, and for those whose training is primarily in dermatology, 6 months of the fellowship are devoted to anatomic pathology.

Trainees then obtain subspecialty certification (termed "special competence") or Diploma in dermatopathology by written examination. Since 2003, the International Board of Dermatopathology (IBDP)—headquartered in Graz, Austria—also has certified candidates from countries around the world.
