A majority (94%) of respondents reported experience with one or more molecular testing strategies. Sixty\u2010two percent of dermatopathologists order 12 or more molecular tests per year, while 5% of respondents order 2 or fewer assays per year. More frequent utilization of molecular testing is associated with relevant instruction during residency training (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .009), primary board certification in pathology (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .008), academic medical center affiliation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = &lt;.0001), higher volume clinical practice (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .0004), presence of on\u2010site clinical molecular pathology\/cytogenetics laboratory (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .007), and greater physician confidence incorporating test results into histopathological assessments (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = &lt;.0001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Wider adoption of molecular testing in dermatopathology may be limited by factors such as physician training, test costs\/insurance coverage, logistical issues and lack of evidence\u2010based clinical practice guidelines.
