Abstract:
The 22nd World Congress of Dermatology, held in Seoul, marked a milestone in the history of Korean dermatology. It is anticipated that Korean dermatological science will continue noticeable progress in the foreseeable future. At this point in time, I think it is essential to look back upon our previous advancements in various fields of dermatology. Therefore, I reviewed the history of Korean Society of Dermatopathology (KSDP) focused on the activities of Korean Dermatology Association (KDA) members. It includes foundation of KSDP, establishment of dermatopathology symposium, performance of dermatopathology training program, granting research funds of KDA, and academic interchange between the members through periodical study meetings. The KSDP has a relatively long history among member societies under KDA. Therefore, we need to take the initiative and set an example for other members to follow.
