  1. Career after MD in Dermatology

  2. Dermatology is a medical specialization that deals with skin, hair, and nail conditions via medications, cosmetic products, in-office treatments, and surgeries. The specialization offers medical students a choice from a range of subspecialties such as dermatopathology, immunodermatology, Mohs surgery, pediatric dermatology, and aesthetic dermatology. Dermatology can be a viable career option for medical students around the world because the demand for skincare and cosmetic procedures is at an all-time high today.

  3. To become a medical dermatologist, one must score at least 50% marks in class 12th in Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English subjects. After completing class 12th, aspiring students are required to clear the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test for Undergraduates (NEET-UG) entrance exam. Once they have the required percentile in NEET-UG, they need to go through the counseling process at the colleges they have applied to and get admitted to a medical school. 

  4. After that, students need to score a minimum cumulative GPA of 50% in their MBBS prof exams and complete a one-year rotational internship. After completing MBBS, students will need to crack the NEET PG entrance exam and choose a PG specialisation as an MD degree in Dermatology. Students can also opt for an MS in General Surgery if they are interested in pursuing a super specialization in dermatosurgery or cosmetic surgery. Students in their PG are required to finish their three-year master’s degree and submit their PG dissertation.

  5. Students also need to complete their residency to receive a medical certificate. The final stage is getting a license to practice, after which the PG holders can start their practice. Below are a few career options and sub-specialisation options once a student has successfully completed their PG and residency:

  6. Clinical Dermatology: Clinical dermatology comprises treating patients suffering from various skin, nail, and hair conditions and diseases, including canker sores, dermatitis, melanoma, psoriasis, and wrinkles. Dermatosurgery: This subspecialty can be divided into two parts: Mohs surgery, in which the medical professional treats patients with skin cancer, and procedural dermatology, where surgical dermatologists perform various surgical procedures, including excisions, grafting, and laser surgeries.

  7. Dermatopathology: This subspecialty includes the diagnosis of skin diseases by examining skin, hair, or nail samples using a microscope and other pathological equipment. Once checked, dermatopathologists send the report of the biopsied skin to the dermatologist, assisting them in identifying the exact medical condition the patient is suffering from. Trichology: Trichology has been derived from the Greek word Trikhos, meaning hair. A trichologist treats patients suffering from hair woes such as alopecia, hair breakage, scalp psoriasis, and trichotillomania.

  8. Immunodermatology: This subspecialty of dermatology is all about studying skin diseases characterized by defective responses to the body’s immune system. Diseases such as hidradenitis suppurativa, allergic contact dermatitis, and atopic eczema fall under immunodermatology.

  9. Pediatric Dermatology: Pediatric dermatology includes treating children suffering from skin, hair, and nail conditions such as birthmarks, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, allergic reactions, and vitiligo. There is a separate subspecialty for children’s skin treatment because children get skin issues that are different from adults.

  10. Cosmetic Dermatology: Cosmetic dermatology is a subspecialty that comprises work such as correcting skin tone, smoothing wrinkles (by injecting botox), removing hair on the face (laser treatments), and treating acne scars (CO2 laser, derma rolling, skin peeling, etc.).

  11. Whichever subspecialty dermatology students decide to opt for, they can always benefit from a good, well-researched online dermatology course. As they learn dermatology online, students can complement their college lectures and practical sessions by making full use of the multimedia content offered by such platforms. DigiNerve’s Dermatology MD E-Lecture Seriesby Dr. Rashmi Sarkar and Dr. S. Sacchidanand includes 70+ hours of video lecture, 105+ topics in notes, including growth and development of skin and its functions,

  12. skin and its interaction with the environment, anatomy and embryology of epidermis, anatomy of the dermo-epidermal junction and dermis, anatomy of hair and nail, eczema, lichen simplex chronicus, etiopathogenesis of psoriasis, parapsoriasis, and pityriasis lichenoides, lichen planus and lichenoid disorders, hypopigmentation andhyperpigmentation disorders, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis, paraneoplastic pemphigus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.

  13. The online course also contains 200+ benchmark trials and 570+ self-assessment questions. The best part of the course is that it covers the topics that are important from an academic, clinical, and surgical point of view. This course is suitable for students who aim to do exceptionally well in their PG exams; every concept and case has been explained in detail while emphasizing clinical findings. The dermatology online video seriesin this course demonstrates surgeries being performed, allowing students to understand the concepts in depth.

  14. Dermatology is one of the few medical fields in which medical professionals can expect to have a decent work-life balance. They can easily work for 30 to 40 hours every week. The field is continuously growing owing to almost every generation’s awareness of skincare, skin issues, and cosmetic procedures. Medical students aiming to have a career in dermatology have the privilege of being prepared for the job by opting for online courses.
