Dermatologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Cosmetic dermatology is a subfield of dermatology that serves individuals with aesthetic concerns. Cosmetic dermatologists provide medical and surgical treatments to people with problems such as bacterial or fungal infections, aging, acne, allergic reactions, unwanted hair, benign skin growths, and uneven skin pigmentation. They need to have completed medical or osteopathy school, hold a medical license to practice, and have completed at least four years of additional training. Many also become board certified as dermatologists.

Salary: Dermatology is one of the highest paid medical specialties. A 2012 Medscape poll reports that the median income for dermatologists in the United States is $283,000, with a range of $100,000 to $500,000.

Education: Dermatology is one of the most highly competitive medical fields, and requires several years of education and training. The first step is an undergraduate degree from a four-year college, including pre-medical courses in biology, organic chemistry, physics, and chemistry. Some candidates must also complete math and biochemistry coursework, depending on the medical school they plan to attend.
