Imagine that your child tells you that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. What kind of doctor do you think that she would be interested in becoming? There's a good chance that she's going to be looking at the field of skin rejuvenation and dermatology if today's trends are any indication of what's to come.
A review of medical students completed recently shows that medical students are primarily interested in dermatology and plastic surgery when pursuing residencies to start their careers. Students in fields like internal medicine have nearly a one hundred percent chance of getting the residency that they desire. In comparison, the competition in the dermatology field makes it such that only about sixty percent of med students pursuing this kind of care will get their desired residencies.
This is good news for people who are interested in getting skin care procedures done. A higher level of competition means that only the most qualified and talented students will end up working in this field. This creates a higher caliber of doctor and allows consumers to rest assured that they are likely getting the best treatment possible.
Question of the Day: What do you think compels the interest of med students in pursuing work in skin care and plastic surgery?
