Dermatology Assistant careers

A Dermatology Assistant supports dermatologists in diagnosing and treating skin conditions. You might work in a medical practice, clinic, or hospital. Dermatology Assistants assist with patient consultations, prepare examination rooms, and perform basic clinical tasks such as taking medical histories and recording vital signs. You’ll also manage patient records, schedule appointments, and provide patient education on skincare and treatment plans.

Dermatology Assistants play a key role in patient care and practice efficiency. You’ll need to be detail-oriented, organised, and capable of handling sensitive patient information with discretion. Strong communication skills are essential for interacting with patients and supporting the dermatology team effectively.
