Dermatologist

Duties and responsibilities:Dermatologists specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating skin diseases and conditions. Examples of common conditions that they treat include acne, dandruff, and skin cancer. Some dermatologists also perform procedures to improve the appearance of the skin, such as decreasing signs of aging or improving skin tone. These procedures include botox and collagen injections.

salary:Dermatologist salaries can vary depending on your experience, the location, company, industry, and benefits provided. Nationwide, most dermatologists make between $112,000 - $166,400+ per year, or $53.86 - $80+ per hour.

Education:Formal training in dermatology doesn't begin until after graduation, though the American Academy of Dermatology provides a series of self-learning modules for medical students who wish to grasp the basics of the discipline. Medical school graduates must spend one year's internship in general medical practice, before completing a three-year residency in dermatology. Residency provides the newly-minted doctor with opportunities to learn dermatological diagnosis and treatment under the supervision and mentorship of experienced practitioners.
