Dermatologists are physicians who specialize in skin. They are doctors who have undergone extensive training to help you keep your skin healthy. Dermatologists can either be a Diplomate or a Fellow in their field of specialization, depending on their amount of training and experience.

After medical school and a year of internship, a medical board exam is required to be a certified general practitioner in medicine (GP). At least three more years of medical and surgical residency training in the field of dermatology are needed and another Specialty Board Exam is required before a doctor becomes a Board Certified Dermatologist or a Diplomate in this chosen field.

After practicing in this specialized field for at least two more years and upon approval of the board, the dermatologist can now apply to the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS) to be a Fellow.

At MedDERM ASIA all procedures, both medical and cosmetic, are done by Fellows who are board certified by the Philippine Board of Dermatology & Diplomates of the University of London.
