How many years of school is required to become a dermatologist? an ophthalmologist?

B.A. (4 yrs)


M.D. (4 yrs)


Intern (1 yr)


Resident (2 yr)


Specialty (4-8 yrs)





It is a long process and takes commitment, perserverence, lots of time, energy, and money; compassion, intelligence, and is very rewarding for those who are dedicated to this field.





Best wishes.
