What is a Dermatologist?
Dermatologists are medical practitioners who specialize in skin health. They examine patients with skin conditions and overview the progress of dermatological treatments.
What does Dermatologist do?
Dermatologists diagnose skin problems, from mild ones (e.g. sunburn) to severe ones (e.g. skin cancer). They conduct screenings and skin evaluations, and analyze the patients’ medical history to determine appropriate treatments. Dermatologists also oversee how effective the treatments are and refer patients to different specialists if needed.
Dermatologist duties and responsibilities
- Diagnosing skin ailments
- Advising on treatments and prescribing medication
- Conducting non-invasive surgical procedures
There are different specializations in dermatology, such as pediatric dermatology, dermatopathology, etc. When crafting your own dermatologist job description, make sure to tailor responsibilities and requirements to the role’s required expertise and area of specialty.
