Dermatology - Dermatology Specialty Training Program

A far broader field than many realise, dermatology deals with a range of diseases involving the skin, nails, hair and visible mucous membranes. A broad spectrum of pathology is encountered across patients of all ages, including both primary diseases of the skin and external manifestations of systemic disorders (e.g endocrine/ rheumatological). Dermatologists employ a vast array of treatment modalities for their patients, from topical and oral medications to intricate surgical procedures, lasers, light and ionizing radiation. Dermatology is a very “visual” specialty, whereby outcomes of treatment are obvious to both patient and physician, and are a source of great satisfaction.
