What does it take to become a dermatologist?

How long will it take to become a dermatologist?

  • Well, i want to become a dermatologist in skin care or hair. Right now, i'm only 14 years old but i'm trying to figure out what i want to do with my life. I want to have children when i'm older and get married and everything but when i calculate the amount of years, I will be between age 28 and 30 before i actually start getting the real checks! Does somebody know the real amount of time it takes to become a dermatologist because i've been finding so many different answers. Please, somebody help me. :x

  • Answer:

    Well there is different roads that can take you to becoming a dermatologist, however the standard one is... 4 years undergrad degree 4 year MD or DO degree 1 year internship 3-4 years Derm residency Total: 12-13 year after high school However this road can be shortened by different programs (look at early admission pathways) or finishing college faster than 4 years. Dermatology is one of the hardest areas of medicine to get into so make sure you learn how to study effectively now because in college and medical school you will need to compete.

im planning on going to either business (as a stockbroker, real estate...) or something in the medical field as well. it takes 4 yrs to become a nurse and a few more to become a doctor. you will spend most of the time in a university and will finish until ur around 30. getting all that money will be done by loans or family that u have to pay back.

I think its about the same time it takes to become a doctor if not more because that is a specialist I would look it up on the Internet but doctors tend to go to school for at least 6-8 years
