<jats:p>Continuing technological advances are inevitably impacting the study and practice of dermatopathology (DP). We are seeing the transition from glass slide microscopy to virtual microscopy, which is serving both as an accessible educational medium for medical students, residents and fellows in the form of online databases and atlases, as well as a research tool to better inform us regarding the development of visual diagnostic expertise. Expansion in mobile technology is simplifying slide image attainment and providing greater opportunities for phone‐ and tablet‐based microscopy, including teledermatopathology instruction and consultation in resource‐poor areas with lack of specialists. Easily accessible mobile and computer‐based applications (“apps”), including <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">myDermPath</jats:styled-content> and Clearpath, are providing an interactive medium for DP instruction. The Internet and social networking sites are enabling rapid global communication of DP information and image‐sharing, promoting collaborative diagnostic research and scholastic endeavors.</jats:p>
