@drheejink: The MOST IMPORTANT thing if you want to become a dermatologist? PERSISTENCE. Derm is insanely competitive — everyone who applies is brilliant, accomplished, and driven. And even then, sometimes you won’t match. But don’t give up. Build connections, find mentors, consider a research year, and keep showing up for your dream. A couple extra years of effort is nothing compared to a lifetime doing what you love. If you truly love dermatology… it’s worth it.
