- Dermatology training and career options in the U.K. for Indian graduates

Dermatology Postgraduate Training in the UK currently requires a period of training of at least 7 years after gaining a medical degree. The period of training will be between 7 and 9 years after the above reorganisation takes place(details have yet to be finalized-some double counting of experience may be possible). Some overseas trainees may need to consider other options especially if they have arrived in the UK as mature graduates or have been unable to obtain, or who do not wish to sit the MRCP diploma. These non-training career grades include Hospital Practitioner grade and Staff Grade doctors who may progress to Associate Specialist after 4 years. Full registration with the GMC is required for Staff Grade and Associate Specialist doctors.
