Pediatric Dermatology

[mpsheeha]

I am interested in ped dermatology and I am not sure where to get information on this specialty (hours, pay, most frequent cases treated, ect..). Any suggestions??? Also, I am unclear as to the best route to this specialty ie, peds residency with a fellowship in peds derm or do I need to do a derm residency.

Thanks for any suggestions.

it's good to do a peds prelim year, then a derm residency and then a fellowship in pediatric dermatology, which I don't think is competitive amongst derms. I hear, though, that pediatric derms are paid less than general derms.
