To become a dermatologist, a physician must first complete a year-long residency program in one of the following areas: internal medicine, general surgery, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, or emergency medicine. The dermatology residency program is a 3-year program that includes additional studies in the following areas: allergies, anatomy, bacteriology, biochemistry, embryology, entomology, genetics, histology, immunology, molecular biology, mycology, oncology, parasitology, pathology, pharmacology, photobiology, physiology, serology, and virology. Dermatologic microbiology, dermatopathology, and immunodermatology are also emphasized. All dermatologists undergo surgical training. A dermatologist is required to attain competency in the use and application of anesthesia, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, laser surgery, nail surgery, biopsy and excisional surgery. A dermatologist also must obtain competency in dermatopathology (pathology of the skin). Many dermatologic procedures and surgeries can be performed in the practice's office and don't require hospital stay.
A board certified dermatologist is one who completes a 3-year accredited dermatology program and passes the national board examination. They are then certified by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD).
