I really appreciate that you began this discussion with the subject of inequality. I love you more now than ever!
Thank you!
I 100% agree. It is so refreshing to see an intelligent person like Angelo to discus this topic
@@Grace-bs6ze He;s like gay.
Not a dermatologist, linguistics major here. I just wanted to say that I love your content! You’re not just a derm that recommends basic brands, but you try other products and give your honest opinion.
Thank you so much!
I spent eight years in the Army after High School. I got an associates while I served. When I got out I went back to school for nursing so I could work as a nurse while going to medical school. I experienced a divorce and homelessness. And issues with not always seeing my kids. I was doing all that while going to school and was so unhappy I dropped out. And the pandemic. I’m very smart. But I didn’t have any mental health support. You’re video has inspired me to go back to school. And while I do I will be more social and form relationships with people. I need to realize that everyone else is stressed too. And we can help each-other out through it. It is hard when you feel all alone and that everything is against you.
This is the best derm career related video on RUclips imo. I start medical school next year and have wanted to be a dermatologist for years.
I'm so glad to hear that! I knew there wasn't a lot of accessible info about it out there before. I'm happy to provide!
How’s it going?
I am so glad you made this video. I am so tired of untrained people providing skincare advice on social media. As an esthetician, I always refer clients to dermatologists for expert advice. It is scary to see what people are doing and advising. Now people can understand how trained you are. Thanks again!
My pleasure!
My brains gonna explode. I’m really determined to become one, but all I could do right now is educate myself of how to become one and to get good grades. I’m 14 so a lot of this stuff is brand new to me.
Dont ever ever ever tell yourself you can’t do it. Be willing to see if you feel passionate about something else, but if this is where you feel like you will make the most positive impact in the world go for it. And find people who believe in you. I’m in med school right now wanting to be a derm and you would not believe the amount of people who say “you know derm is like...the most competitive speciality??” It’s frustrating, but at the end of the day, the best we can do is go for it. And if it’s what’s meant to be it will be. I believe in you!
@@matthewtueller5928 yeah I’m just scared that I will not make it and I would waste college money just to not be accepted
@@user10238 it can definitely be intimidating. But try to be present in each stage of getting there. Right now, enjoy high school as much as possible, find the subjects you really like and what not. In college, you’ll have to probably make a few sacrifices because the pre Med requirements are hard, but I played sports, I hung out with friends all the time, I took trips during breaks, like college was still so fun even though it was hard work wanting to go to Med school. And now Med school is the same thing. It’s hard, but it’s exciting. And your path might change along the way and that’s ok too there’s no shame in that. But anything you want to achieve comes with some amount of fear of failure. Every dermatologist in the world probably felt that same feeling countless times. Be present, and enjoy the stage of life you’re in. And really believe that you can do it if it’s what you truly want!
Cutest dermatologist ever 😘
I’m still in pre-med I’ve got a long way to go...
hi, what's your premed?
I love how real, authentic, transparent, and inclusive you are. It’s so refreshing!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am a counselor/health educator in higher ed and am finishing my masters in the mental health counseling specialty. I love working with my students but grad school has been a long and rough process for me. Balancing everything is hard. It was very meaningful to be reminded that this is not a unique experience, and it occurs across specialties too.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I’ve always appreciated the advice from my dermatologist and derms like you! 😊
My pleasure!
This was a great video that not just few dermatologists explain how they got where they are today, but few accredited professionals give such a breakdown.
You seem so natural and like a best friend and not like a traditional strict doctor 😂. I also want to be a derm or er doc but am in highschool rn and am scared if I dont get into a good college I won’t get into med school! Help thanks ❤
I graduated with an Interior Design degree… like you said… culture plays a huge role 🙄 the statistics are real. Although it’s true, I’m looking for a career change for several reasons. Really don’t wanna go back to school for another 4 years let alone 12 😂 You answered so many questions that I couldn’t find. I don’t see any schools that offer a degree for Dermatology. Already concerned lol I was studying sonography at one point and I’m hoping my credits from biology and physics can be used to cut time down. Thank you for this video 💕
I love how detailed this is!!! No doubt I’ll be referring back to this video as I apply to med school and through my journey of (hopefully) becoming a dermatologist.
So happy to hear that! Best of luck!
what's your college degree?
Loved hearing the background story of how you decided becoming a dermatology doctor! Was sure it entails a lot of effort and academic feat but did not know you needed to go through extensive medical study and practice of general medical field. This video is an important piece of the puzzle for your character, loved that you clearly explained that privilege could be a factor, you are such a wholesome being💜💜💜
Awww thank you so much for your kind words!
This is such a good video! I’m in my second year of pre-med with aspirations of being a cosmetic dermatologist. i’m already at a setback because my grades freshman year were not as stellar as they were in highschool so now i’m having to try extra hard to excel. i’m discouraging myself because i’m thinking if i’m depressed and struggling now i am going to fumble so hard in med school. i’m still focused now and getting jobs and shadowing experience now in the medical field so i’m hoping i will get over this. your video was very informative and interesting, 10/10
Hey I had a super similar situation when I was in undergrad! And now I’m in med school! Dont tell yourself you can’t! If you have any questions about any med school application stuff let me know!
Two minutes in your video and I’m already impressed on the things you’re talking about! I am a licensed manicurist & esthetician, so I’m currently in school working hard to get to your level.
Thank you for making this video, I’m 16 and researching dermatology for one of my medical electives at my high school and I have been interested in the field for two years now. I really hope that with hard work I can become a dermatologist some day :)
I’ve been following your TikTok for a few months and just found your RUclips page, as someone entering med school fall 2021 with dreams of being a dermatologist you’ve been such a great resource. Can’t wait to keep following all of your pages 🥰
I want to become a Dermatologist more than anything in the world, its such a long and rough path but I want it so bad
no omg same, ive always loved skin and always wanted to treat people but seeing u have to spend like 6 years in med its deffo a rough life time decision were making
thank you!!! i'm in highschool and interested in becoming a dermatologist or an esthetician
Hey if u don’t mind could explain a bit of what an esthetician is?
I'm so happy and excited that you made this!
I'm so happy to hear that!
This is the most thorough video as far as steps needed take to get into dermatology. Thank you for sharing your knowledge❤
I wanted to be a dermatologist but I realized the road getting there was not for me and now Im applying to PA school next year and I can still work in the field!
I'm so happy to hear that! Like I say in the video, there's more than one way to work with skin. Glad you found the right career for you!
wow, i’m so glad i found this video. I’m having a such a hard time right now during my first year of undergrad that i really have considered other options. But i can’t seem to let go of my dream of being a dermatologist! You gave so much insight, i feel like i know exactly what to do in order to get there :)
Dont let go of the dream!
Thankyou for discussing the systemic racism within this field! This is one of the best videos I’ve watched about the process of becoming a dermatologist! Starting my sophomore year in undergrad in the fall
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I am so happy I came across it! I've been wanting to be a dermatologist for the longest your experience has shown me that anything you put your mind to is possible!
Thank you so much for this! I’m going to medical school in the fall and derm is one of the specialties I’m really interested in but it’s very intimidating so this video was needed!
what's your college course? I also want to become a dermatologist someday but I dont know what college course aka "pre med" for dermatology
Thank u so much for making this video and being so clear and real 🙏🏽
My pleasure! I hope you found it helpful
@@DermAngelo hello, I am struggling to choose what would be my premed or my 4 year college degree so that I can be a derma someday. I am planning (aka Plan A) to take 4 year course of Nursing or as Medical Technologist, but I am worried that I can't be a Derma if those are my planned premeds. My Plan B is to take Chemistry or Biology in college... What should I take to become a derma? thanks for the reply :))
As someone who wants to become a dermatologist it was interesting to see how the process differs in the USA. In the uk it would take 7 years, 8 years if you take an intercalated degree, but yeah this was a really cool video.
Thanks for watching!
Do u know the different steps to become a dermatologist in the UK?
@@celina248 theres a lot of ways u definitely want to prepare well, i suggest doing both biology and chemistry for a levels because a lot of med schools require these, then you want to take the ucat and bmat so do sufficient preparation next is your personal statement you want it to be ready by october 15 (all oxford, cambridge, medicine and dentistry applicants must apply early) in y13 if u plan to go straight to uni then if u get in to medical school u do ur best u can intercalate and get a bachelors or masters in the middle ur mbbs if u want to this is compulsory in some universities this is only 1 way into medicine there are so many different ways if u watch faye bates video she explains all of them really well
Imagine If Dermangelo changed his career path 😩 Thankfully you didn’t 👏🏼✨ I am 42 and never planning to return to school yet watched this entire video 😅 Your voice is so clear and concise and teaching is just your thing - love it 😘
this was explained extremely well.
MS1 here! just finished my 3rd block and derm has been my goal since day 1. it’s definitely going to be an uphill battle for me. my program has no dermatology residency so I don’t have a derm mentor 🤧 thanks for this video!
Thank you thank you thank you for addressing those things at the beginning. 💕
My pleasure. I think any content about succeeding in medicine has to take privilege and the effects of racism into account.
I’m also a white/Hispanic woman who gets recognized as a white woman. Your video is my sign to keep going. Thanks for posting !
I love you Angelo! Love this for you
Me too 😂
Can you make a video reviewing your med school application!! Or at least some form of it!
Very informative! I live in Denmark, so our uni system is very different from yours; it's very laid back in comparison. Anyways, my goal is to specialise in derm, so I love all of your content! Would you mind filming a day in your life?
I can try!
First video that was exciting! Thanks ☺
Med student in EU, love the video 🙏🏻
So glad you enjoyed it!
My biggest fear is the internship... not so much by the work hours, but with being involved in life/death situations... how do you handle that? Obviously no one would send an intern into one of those situations blindly, but is there plenty of guidance in those scenarios?
How amazing that you shared your journey. I really like how you apply social norms and sociology perspective regarding social privilege.
Thank you!
This is amazingly useful, thank you so much for this content.🤗❤️
Do you have a book that you can please recommend to learn about the chemistry of ingredients? 😍
Your story is super inspiring!
what if you already have a bachelor's degree, but you didn't do a pre-med while attending university?
There are post-baccalaureate programs where you can go back just to do those courses.
I wish that you were my derm! 💕
Thank you for this! Super helpful🦋
Dr. Adam Friedman is the GOAT ☺! Amazing person.
Wow amazing, you look like 20 years old!
I wanna be a dermatologist but still waisting time with a associate liberal arts major 21 years old, wasn’t born in USA, not English as a first language and I’m black 🤷🏾♀️ should I continue or just look for another career?
If it's what you really want to do, it won't be a waste of time. I understand that every situation is different though. The first step may be seeing if you can meet with an advisor from your school to talk about the possibility of taking premed classes to start with.
Thank you for this video
What other kind of skin specialties can I go into? I graduated with a Bachelors in Radio, TV, and film a few years ago, so I think it’s to late to start over. I’m 26
Dr!!! Me enterando que hablas español !!!!!! Necesito una consulta contigo. Tienes consultas online pleaseeeeeee
You're probably the cutest dermatologist haha
We love you Doc.
❤️
Any advice for non traditional students? People making career changes that want to be a dermatologist?
I’m a senior in high school, and I have decided that I want to become a dermatologist, I would keep watching your videos. Honestly I haven’t event started college and I’m already scared and excited to all this process to become a dermatologist.
Hey
I am a graduate IMG.
I don't have a good score in step 1. Please advise for dermatology.
Im IMG too. They say that its ok to have low step 1 mark but u need to have good cv with researches and LORs.
Hey! I am an M1 and I briefly met you before at TKs clinic in DC. How early on did you begin having a relationship with Dr. Friedman? I’m def interested in landing a research fellowship before graduation but idk when/where to start.
I met Dr. Friedman during my third year when I become interested in joining his research group. That said, it's never too early to find a mentor! Best of luck!
Hopefully this isn’t too late but what are the other ways to focus on skin (clinical and cosmetic?) I plan to go get a masters in public health (MPH) and I’m trying to see how I could incorporate so kind of dermatology (but not dermatology) into my career focus. While making money and being happy as well lol.
So can we become dermatologist at 19 like him
I have a question about residency. Is internship a separate part of the match process. Like do you have to match into 2 different programs. I ask because I noticed you mentioned you did your intern year in New York and then the dermatology part of your residency in DC. So I wondered if it was a separate process for intern year.
Sir can a Dermatologist can treat Cough , Cold and Fever ? Please reply 🙏🙏
Many publications did you have when you applied and how many do you recommend for applicants?
I want to become a dermatologist but I currently live in the UK and I want to live in the states when I'm older. I'm not sure how I would do this?
What if I am a DPT and have also done my post graduation in Physical therapy, that is Masters in Sports Physical therapy, have studied alot of medical related subjects during my graduation that includes anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and the like.
I want to learn derma for myself, is there a route for me?
For myself means, that I'll be the first I'll apply that knowledge to and then start my practice.
Hi!
I am moving into year 10 next year, and I want to become a dermatologist. I didn't pick advanced science as one of my electives. Should I of picked it? If i choose chem, bio and physics in year 11, will I fall behind? I am really worried. Thanks
hi!
can you please do a review on the urban rx cleanser?
Hi! Thank you for this! Do you have your own practice now? What is your next step?
I'm working for an academic medical system!
When you are too bad at science but you want to be a derm😭
Yeah, definitely a lot of science in dermatology so you much love it 🤣
I wanna be a PA in dermatology, would it be that different? I'm currently on my 3rd year of uni but I'm struggling with gen chem (I've never been huge in science) and it makes me question if I'm right for this career path :( Any tips?
At least here in the US PAs can do dermatology but do not work independently -- they must have a supervising dermatologist. That said, much of the coursework is science-based. I'd do some research into what kind of classes you need to take to get into PA school in your area. I know the sciences can be daunting, but it is possible to make it through!
@@DermAngelo yes, I've talked to my school advisor about it. However, I find it hard to enjoy it and have motivation for it (and I hate math which is in it) Is that normal? Is it okay to not like chemistry classes and still go into that field?
@@IzzixElle To be honest, there's a lot of science involved in medical school and dermatology so that's something to take into account when choosing it as a career.
Wait can you work as a doctor while studying dermatology???orrr??
Do internists applying for dermatology have to go through a year of internship again?
what is your pre-med?
yeah, I'm definitely not going to be able to be a dermatologist
How old are you?:)
Old enough 🤣
How long it took ?
13 years
@@DermAngelo i am also planning to become a dermatologist
I am 15 now
I'll be joining collage probably at 17-18

I had a dream of doing something by my own earned money

How much free time I'll get
So much questions

Ok this is severely biased, if ur black ,no one has a research ,poor bad scores ,you can become what you dream. I am a doctor, Asians from asian countries ignore this video. He started off extremely biased which I respect but the views are not based on astute stats but what he decided to use as stats.
