What would I need to do to become a dermatologist?

it's a long road, but very doable. Get good grades in High School, take all your premed classes and do fairly well (inorganic chem, organic chem, physics, bio, plus your major,) take a leadership role in a volunteer cause or group you believe in (so you have something good on your transcript and something to write your essays about,) take the MCAT's and score pretty good (don't need to be great, just pretty good,) get some med school interviews, get into a med school, take out MONSTROUS student loans for med school, study whenever you're not doing something else for the next two years, pass part one of the boards, then the second two years of med school are clinicals, so long hours but easier study time. then pass part two of boards, graduate from med school, interview and match at a derm residency (I think that's four years?)





that's it! sounds like a lot, but if you take it one little step at a time, one milestone at a time, it's doable. But, here's the rub. You really, really gotta want it. The only people who don't make it thru med school are the ones who weren't there for the right reasons. They were the ones who went because it's what their parents wanted, or they just wanted to see if they could get in. If you have a burning desire to do it, you can. If not, it would probably not seem worth it.





good luck!What would I need to do to become a dermatologist?
Go to school
Get a pre-med 4 year degree, then apply to medical school. Good luck.
