Meet your dermatologist.

Becoming a board-certified dermatologist in Korea takes about 11 years of education and training: six years of medical school, one year of internship, four years of dermatology residency and a specialist examination. The Association of Korean Dermatologists says that about 2% of doctors in Korea hold this specialist qualification.

That is about five additional years of hospital training, four of them in dermatology. During residency, doctors train in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair and nail conditions.

The image’s “<1%” is a historical comparison: the 2019 KDA meeting report counted 764 women among 2,903 society members (26.3%), including residents, and cited 121,571 doctors in 2018. Dividing those counts gives about 0.63%. It is not a current count of female board-certified dermatologists.
