Is a dermatologist a Medical Doctor?

Answer 1

To be a dermatologist, a medical degree from an accredited medical school such as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree, a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, or a Bachelor of Surgery/Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS/MBChB) degree is required. After earning one of these recognized medical degrees, a residency in dermatology must be completed and board certification examinations must be successfully passed.

Answer 2

A dermatologist is certainly a medical doctor. Only in sense, though. Specifically, a dermatologist is skin doctor, but I'm sure you already knew that. If the question you're asking is do you need a medical degree to become a dermatologist, the answer is definitely.

Hope this helps! Good luck
