Reflection: I would like to become a dermatologist because it seems interesting. Also I would like to become a dermatologist because they get paid a good amount of money. Last, I would like to become a dermatologist because I will like to help people with their skin care.

  1. A dermatologist could diagnose nutrient deficiencies more effectively, if he or she were good enough. You can tell a lot about a person's health by looking at their skin. Being able to tell what hormones are low, or what minerals a missing from a person's diet just by seeing their skin, would be a quick and cheap diagnostic process. wolfderm.com

  2. I think that becoming a dermatologist would be a great career. I had no idea that they were able to treat patients as well as diagnose it. Something that really seems interesting is that there is so much schooling that goes into that kind of career. This would make for a great second option for those who aren't sure what to do in the medical field. http://www.villagedermatologyandskinrejuvenation.com
