The development of the field of dermatology traces back to the early to mid 19th century when various bacteria and fungi were discovered..
Although the study of skin diseases has been linked to general medicine for centuries, dermatology is a relatively recent specialist area of medicine, with the first recognized great school of dermatology coming into existence in Paris in the 18th century..
Dermatology is largely an out-patient specialty, with most dermatologists working 8am-5pm, five days a week.
Furthermore, dermatology is unique because it rarely has any after-hour emergencies.
As such, it is one of the few fields in medicine where it is possible to work close to a 40 hour work week..
The average workday of a dermatologist is about eight to ten hours and can mean seeing up to 50 patients per day.
On a typical day, a clinical dermatologist will get to the office about 1 hour before patients arrive and attend didactics.
Dermatologists will see patients basically non-stop from about 8:00 am to 5:00 pm..
