What are the requirements for high school students to be dermatology?
Are you asking what education and training one needs to become a dermatologist? If so… Four years of college, majoring in a science [or pre-med] or another subject but while taking all the pre-requisites in science and math. 3.5 average above and great MCAT scores. Four years of medical school. Expensive and few scholarships available. In med school you begin taking the multi-part National Board exams. Fourth year, you sign up for the match program for a one-year internship[optional for some specialties] or a residency program [3-5 years or more, depending on the specialty]. Residency may be followed by a fellowship [2-3 years] for further specialization, if desired. Internship and residency are paid [modestly] and involve work weeks of 80 hours [sometimes less, if you’re lucky] and on-call shifts of 24-36 hours at a time [usually spent at the hospital], again depending on the specialty.
