dc.description.abstractBackgroundData regarding ethical/professional issues affecting dermatopathologists are lacking despite their importance in establishing policy priorities and educational content for dermatopathology.MethodsA 14‐item cross‐sectional survey about ethical/professional issues in dermatopathology was distributed over e‐mail to members of the American Society of Dermatopathology from June to September 2019.ResultsTwo hundred sixteen surveys were completed, with a response rate of 15.3%. Respondents ranked appropriate and fair utilization of healthcare resources (n = 83 or 38.6%) as the most often encountered ethical/professional issue. Conflict of interest was ranked as the most urgent or important ethical/professional issue (n = 83 or 39.3%). One hundred thirty‐three (61.6%) respondents felt “somewhat” or “not at all” well equipped to handle ethical dilemmas in practice and 47 (22.8%) respondents identified a major or extreme burden (eg, have considered resigning/retiring) due to ethical challenges.ConclusionsAreas of priority in ethics and professionalism issues can guide future policy and educational content in dermatopathology.
