dermatology training programs

Dermatology training programs are specialized educational pathways for physicians to become experts in skin, hair, and nail conditions. After completing medical school, doctors undergo residency, typically lasting three years, during which they gain in-depth knowledge of diagnosis, treatment, and management of skin disorders. Some programs may also include fellowships for advanced subspecialties. The training involves clinical practice, exams, and ongoing learning to ensure competency. Once completed, dermatologists can diagnose and treat a wide range of skin issues, perform procedures, and often pursue research or teaching roles in the field.
