Usual major is pre-med, but you can major in a science or any other subject, as long as you take all the pre-requisites for med school admission [check the med school's website for details].
You'll take the MCATs [like SATs for med school], then go to four years of medical school. Then comes one year of internship [optional for some specialities], then 3-5 years of residency, then, if you want, a fellowship of several years.
Internship and residency are paid [modestly], involve 80-hour work weeks and 24-36hr on-call duty.
You'll also have massive debt, unless your parents can foot the steep med school tuition.How do you become a dermatologist? what do you need to major in?
Pre-med or chemistry. You need to complete the prerequisites required by any Medicine College. You will also need the classes in order to help you score high enough on the MCAT.
