The Dermatologists consulting at Inner Sydney Dermatology specialise in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of skin disease and skin cancers, and cosmetic Dermatology.

To become a Dermatologist it is firstly necessary to complete a medical degree. Thereafter, general training in medicine and surgery is undertaken followed by a four-year training programme in Dermatology. Only after a doctor has successfully completed this programme as well as passed the examination set by the Australasian College of Dermatologists can they call themselves a Dermatologist. This is signified by the letters FACD.

However, their training often doesn’t end there, with many Dermatologists obtaining further experience in specific areas such as Mohs’ surgery, laser therapy or paediatric skin conditions.

In total, it usually takes a minimum of 11 years of medical training to become a Dermatologist.

All practicing dermatologists have an obligation to maintain professional standards and participate in the Australasian College of Dermatologists Continuing Professional Development Program.
