Hi Christian:
Dermatologists are physician specialists who diagnose and treat disorders of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes in both adults and children. The services provided are broad, ranging from acne, infections, genetic disorders, and skin cancer to cosmetic issues such as scars, hair loss, tattoo removal, and aging. Some of the courses you will need to take in school are:
• biology
• organic chemistry
• physics
• general chemistry
HOW TO BECOME A DERMATOLOGIST
1) Enroll in a four-year college or university to earn your bachelor's degree
2) Take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT)
3) Attend Medical School
4) Pass the U.S. Medical Licensing (USMLE) parts one and two during medical school
5) Apply for and obtain residency
6) Pass part three of the USMLE
7) Get Licensed
8) Consider Fellowship and Board Certification
The long pathway to becoming a dermatologist typically combines the following steps:
• Bachelor’s (undergraduate) degree (4 years)
• Medical school (4 years)
• Dermatology residency (4 years)
I hope this was helpful. Best of luck to you!

Aspiring dermatologists must earn a bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, or a pre-med degree program. Students should take as many courses in science and calculus as possible, as well as psychology, anatomy, and physiology, and keep their grades high as admission into medical school can be competitive.
