What are the requirements for becoming a dermatologist?

Pre-med (prereq's for medical school), taking the mcat (medical college admissions test), medical school/intern and then residency (where one specializes in the branch of medicine that interests them). One's grades in prereq's as well as overall gpa (grade point average) should be stellar as competition is keen to gain acceptance into med school. Most aim to get into a few different medical schools due to the competitiveness and each med school may have their own prereq courses that they would like to student to have had. ('Human anatomy' doesn't usually transfer but instead most schools want 'anatomy and physiology' as a pre-med course.)
