Abstract：The dermatopathology teaching syllabus serves as a crucial foundation for conducting educational activities,and strict adherence to its requirements is essential for maintaining teaching quality.A well-designed syllabus is vital for improving training standards.After analyzing the evo-lution of two versions of the syllabus,we propose its revision and implementation based on clinical teaching practice.These include ①adjusting the required disease categories to incorporate livedoid vasculopathy,mycosis fungoides,and leprosy,replacing insect bite dermatitis,erythema multi-forme,and melanosis,with justifications for these changes;②incorporating direct immunofluores-cence into the teaching requirements;③ specifying the necessary types of special stains and immu-nohistochemical markers;④emphasizing equal importance on image-based assessments and de-scriptive pathology assessments.Strategies for curriculum implementation include ①identifying key challenges,such as the uneven distribution of teaching faculty,insufficient foundational knowledge among resident physicians,and the absence of a continuous dermatopathology teaching framework;②Corresponding measures include establishing regional collaborative training mechanisms for der-matopathology,employing a gross pattern teaching approach in slide review sessions,organizing a dermatopathology competition for resident physicians and conducting weekly dermatopathology group meetings to study recent representative cases.
