Arshia’s Answer

Dear Sokna,

Dermatology, in short, requires you to attend medical school. Depending on where you are in your educational journey, I recommend researching the field online and trying to find dermatologists where you can meet with for an informational interview and possible job shadowing experiences. This way, you will learn more about the work and what your future may look like as a dermatologist.

Best of luck to you.

Arshia recommends the following next steps:

Research dermatology
Identify mentors and dermatologists for informational interviews, shadowing experiences
Research medical schools and complete pre-requiste courses for admission
Study and take the MCAT
