You need to complete an undergraduate degree, however, the major does not matter as long as you complete the classes that are pre-requisites by all medical schools (i.e. general chemistry, organic chemistry, physiology, physics, etc). You have to take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). Then apply to medical school which will evaluate your grades, MCAT, extra-curricular activities, research, etc. Keeping in mind that the acceptance rate into medical school is very low because it is very competitive. Medical school is 4 years long and after which you have to apply to and get accepted into a dermatology program which is another 4 years. Dermatology is one of the most if not the most competitive residency programs to get into. It is on par with that of plastic surgery, neurosurgery, etc.What are the steps to becoming a dermatologist?
you have to register to a college as a pre med student
then you go to med school if accepted
then you specialize in dermatology
