Hello Derm Physicians! I am currently an undergraduate in college (pre-med) and I have long been interested in dermatology. I had acne as a teenager and my dermatologist really cleared it up for me, and thus completely changed my self-esteem, and my life. I changed my personality completely, gained self-confidence and just overall felt so much better about life.
From my personal experience, and just the fact that I think skin disorders are kind of "cool"-ish (that might be the wrong word to use) I am really interested in pursuing Derm.
Not to put the cart before the horse (I know I'm not even in Med. School!) but I would like to hear why current Dermatologists picked Derm as their speciality and to perform their residency. Are there other gems to this field that I should know? Any precautions to be aware for?
Thanks so much!
