    Hey yall! This video is a breakdown of why I chose dermatology! Choosing dermatology was a process and in this video I say why I chose this specific medical specialty over other fields of medicine.
    Also check out the below video which I referred to multiple times, which is a great breakdown of what to consider when choosing a medical specialty.

      Hello doctor,
      I got an infection on my bigger toe nail. I have sought for medical treatment for 10 months now but the condition persist. I would like to share a photo of its condition so that you can also advice on what can be done, unfortunately there is no option for photo upload.
      How can I reach you so that I share the photos with you?

    Girl I’m only an incoming freshman at college and I’m already thinking about what specialty i want to have in the future. Dermatology really has been something on my mind for a while and hopefully I can stick with that because its a specialty that stays on my mind 24/7.

I have always been intrigued with knowing more about skin and hair so I am thinking about specializing in dermatology. I watched your video with a couple doubts but now I believe this is the path I want to go along. Thank you!

    so you are talking a lot about variety, for you does that mean you will specialize further once u are past residency or stick to general dermatology? would that allow u to see that variety, or would that be a time where you just don’t specialize any further? thank u so much for making this video, i’m trying to figure out what i want to study in college and videos like this are helping me a lot! sorry if my question doesn’t make much sense, i’m definitely a newbie in the speciality arena.

    • @TheRealSkinImInMD
      @TheRealSkinImInMD  2 роки тому +2

      The amazing thing about dermatology is that I can structure my clinic to focus on what I'm most interested in. I love gen derm because theres so much variety in that! As of now, I have a special interest in hair, so I hope to have a clinic with gen derm but with a little more focus on hair disorders than other conditions seen in gen derm.

    Hii! wow, I love you charisma and the reasons why you chose dermatology and a future dermatology that is a black female. My dream is to go to medical school, I study Biology now and I am looking for a female mentor in the field. If we could exchange emails or if you created a video in the life of a derm resident it would be amazing. I need to have a mentor in the field, sometimes I have so many doubts and I would like to have someone to talk about medicine.

    I was wondering if you were ever “squimish” and if so did it go away?

    • @TheRealSkinImInMD
      @TheRealSkinImInMD  3 роки тому +3

      Definitely! It most commonly occurred in Med school when lesions had an odor and when doing a procedure on that lesion, the odor can get to ya! Just knowing what to expect in those circumstances and seeing it repetitively def helps with that. Also in general I don’t work on an empty stomach, especially for procedures/surgeries, to prevent from feeling faint.

      4years of undergrad , 4years of Med school, 4 years of residency training. As a resident, you’re a physician but training under board certified dermatologist. Once you complete residency, you take boards to become board certified.
