If you are in the US or Canada, your undergraduate major doesn't matter. Some people do biology based majors just to make getting pre-requisite courses easier, but this isn't necessary.
The path to being a dermatologist is:
- 4 years undergrad at a university
- 4 years medical school
- (US - 1 year internship)
- dermatology residency - 5 years in Canada, 3 years in US (US - 4 years total)
Dermatology is always one of the most competitive specialities. To get in, you'll need not only great marks, but community/school involvement, research, and probably some real extracurricular activities too. Good luck!
