Dermatologist
Duties and Responsibilities:
1) Refer patients to other specialists, as needed.
2) Record patients' health histories.
3) Provide dermatologic consultation to other health professionals.
4) Provide liposuction treatment to patients.
5) Instruct interns or residents in diagnosis and treatment of dermatological diseases.

Education:
Dermatology is one of the most highly competitive medical fields, and requires many years of education and training. The first step is an undergraduate degree from a four-year college, including premedical courses in biology, organic chemistry, physics, and general chemistry. Some candidates must also complete math and biochemistry coursework, depending on the medical school they plan to attend.
Demand:
Healthcare reform will add an estimated 30 million patients to an already strained system, Dr. Pariser says. That will exacerbate what is already a shortage of dermatologic care, he says.
