Dermatologists specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and

prevention of skin diseases and cancers. Dermatologists are

initially trained as doctors, undertaking six or more years of

university study to gain their medical degree. Dermatologists look

after patients of all ages, from babies and children to adolescents

and adults.

Dermatologists at public hospitals are heavily involved in the

education of medical students, resident medical officers and

registrars, and work alongside other allied health professionals

such as nurses and pharmacists. Additionally, dermatologists run

courses and tutorials for general practitioners and other medical

specialists. Many dermatologists are involved in research, at both

the basic science and clinical levels.
