Advice please?

[rilez]

Hello! I'm a high school student who plans to be a dermatologist someday. However, coming from Asia, I'm not very sure as to how colleges are here and the "best" way to plan out my schooling. I plan to attend college somewhere in Texas (near family), major in biology/human biology ,and then apply to medical school. Is that usually the direct path to being a specialist? Or is there such a thing as to attend "dermatology school" after high school just like optometry school? I plan to practice back in my country but as of right now, I'm very confused about which "path" to take. If anybody has advice, i'd gladly appreciate it. Thank you!

There is no such thing as "dermatology school" for undergraduates. You need to get your MD (if you go to a US med school) before you specialise in dermatolgy.
