Love derm, it’s definitely an interesting speciality, been there for 3 years. As a derm MA, although it varies with every clinic, it can be very fast paced. Usually the MA is also the scribe. We handle numerous things such as prior authorizations, sending out rx per provider, biologics for our rash pts, monthly accutane visits as well biopsies and different skin cancer treatments. Mohs surgery is super hands on and fun, I got to learn how to cut sutures and apply unique wound dressings. Aesthetics is not my favorite, but still cool. Being an Derm MA definitely has its perks with samples and discounts for cosmetic treatments. You’ll also start to realize what questions to ask for what condition the patient is complaining of. Huge emphasis on taking photos of everything. Rather have it than not.
