How long is dermatology assistant training?
By dermatology assistant, I assume you're referring to a dermatology medical assistant. If you are referring to a dermatology Physician Assistant, that is a Masters degree in PA studies, and then you generally need years of work experience under the guidance of a supervising dermatologist.To be a dermatology medical assistant, you first need your medical assistant training through a local trade school or community college. These programs focus on general medical practice, but not specifically dermatology. If you are then hired in a dermatology practice, you need to learn the skills specific the specialty, and often within 6 months or so you should feel pretty comfortable in the field.
