Dermatologists are Doctors of Dermatology. It is a specialty of medicine. Start by checking out pre-med programs.
Dermatologists are physicians who diagnose and treat disorders of the skin. Dermatologists may be specialists who treat diseases and tumors of the skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands. Dermatologists may also specialize in dermasurgery and practice surgery to treat skin conditions. All dermatologists must rely on advanced skills and exercise critical judgment in their field.
Prerequisites for medical school require two to four years of undergraduate training in a science or pre-medical degree. Admissions also require successful completion of the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Medical schools also consider extracurricular activities, grade point average, and letters of recommendation. Various schools and colleges offer flexible course schedules that range from day, night and weekend classes and training sessions.
How do I become a dermatologist?
You have to go to a university which offers medical studies.Becoming a dermatologist requires almost the same courses you have to take in medical school as becoming a medical doctor. After graduation, you need to put in time for residency at a hospital which has a practice of dermatology. In total, it takes about 6 years minimum.
Go for it, aim high, study hard and become a doctor.
Good luck!
My dear Mom
Due to the time difference, I just saw your request (it's 4:30 PM over here)...so that's why I am a little ';late'; in answering. But I saw the above answers and the 2 guys (tom and Raul) gave you the correct instructions, honey.
You will have a total of 12 years ahead of you !!!! Are you really ';prepared'; for this??? I mean, I acknowledge your aspiration, but with the baby, your housework, etc. ---it will be HARD---for you, sweetie!!!
I went several years to College (when my son was in Kindergarten) just for the fun of acquiring knowledge and those were some great years....But: be aware, it's going to be rough with a small child to care for. Usually people do it ';the other way around';...They go to a College right after high school, get their education...and then...they ';start a family';...
Besides, studying Medicine is one of the most difficult ';subjects'; you can choose, so be aware of a whole LOT of studying!!! But nevertheless, I sure wish to encourage you and wish you all the strength you need ! My prayers are with you ! Send you my best greetings along with all my love, care %26amp; concern...your friend...Annette***
Next step you need to get an associates in arts and sciences. (2 year college) then University - make sure you take the classes you'll need for that profession. You'll need to choose major and minor studies. You can go to your community college and schedule an appointment with one of the counselors there. Its free. They can give you the whole rundown of what you need. GOOD LUCK!
my dad is a dermatologist. he said.. go to good collage and do well, doing community service helps lots. you go to your university for 4 years, then medical school for 4 years, then dermatologist training for another 4 years. then you can get a job anywhere.
A dermatologist is a physician, with a specialty. You need to get a regular medical education, and then spend a specific number of additional years to prepare for a specialty.
Plan to go to college for a science degree
then on to graduate school to get a masters
and then a medical school for an M.D
a doctorate
you will have a few years of hard studying
all the best
You can start by taking general college courses. I'm sure you'll probably need biology as well as other medical sciences.
go to college. major in a scientific field like biology or chemistry, etc. and then you will need to go to medical school after college.
if your dead set on it you can take medical courses from a university then move to a medical school
College then medical school then residency.
Buy a box of Derma's and just practice till youve got it down pat. Then youll have to go to Dermacollege for 3 years its easy.
do a science degree in university
go to medical school

Start with a local college. Get your basics in then speak to the counselors and ask them where to go from there.
Go to college and see what field of education you need to take.
