Hi Dr. Noopur. Advice to dermatologist enthusiasts are:
If you have a background in research already then it would make you a better dermatologist because they have to keep getting updated.
Only go into this career when you want to become a dermatologist and plan accordingly because it takes over a decade to become a dermatologist.
There’s a lot of demand to be in this field so you should be able to stand out from the rest of your competitors.
It’s often undertaken that dermatology is just dealing with acne but it’s much wider in scope because there are many other skin problems like hyperpigmentation etc.
