They enrich our teaching and research archives and help train the next generation of clinicians, including medical students, resident physicians and fellows in the dermatology and pathology departments at UC Davis Health, as well as visiting scholars from around the world. This robust learning environment strengthens our commitment to advancing dermatopathology locally and globally.
