Pre-Med: first:


Medical school next:


internship at hospital next


residence at hospital next


specialist training next:


.


You're looking at somewhere around ten years of medical school and your specialist training.

It is not easy becoming a medical doctor:
First, Go to college and complete a premed curriculum in any major.





Second, Go to medical school. Any American medical school is great.





Third, Complete a residency in dermatology.

You can major in anything you want as long as you take the premed courses in bio, chem, physics, math, and English. Keep your college GPA well over 3.5 and do well on the MCAT (med school entrance exam). Then you've got 4 more years of medical school followed by 5 years of residency (training) before you can get a job on your own. And if you're just in it for the money, you're not going to make it too far. It's a ton of work.
You shouldn't go into a job just because you like money. You should go into a job you enjoy. Don't get stuck in something that you don't want to do.


But anyways:


For dermatology, you need a 4-year college degree (major in anything you want/can, and take the pre-med courses in bio, chem, physics and math), 4 years of medical school (that's where you start to specialize in dermatology or anything else) and then a dermatology residency (at least 3 years).





You need to become a medical doctor or a D.O. to become a dermatologist.





4 years of undergrad study


4 years of medical school


1 year internship


3 years of internal medicine residency


2 years derm fellow= 14 years training/schooling.





Along with the MCATs, USMLEs, and Board certification.
