Is the dermatology board certification worth the time and cost?

Which part of the country are you thinking about working in? I heard from a coworker’s cousin who’s a med student that the board exam felt like a marathon for her. Not sure if it’s worth the time and cost unless you’re aiming for a hospital or private practice that requires it.

The certification adds little beyond residency; most clinics here hire on residency completion alone.

Honestly, looking at dermatology, what niche within the field tends to have the best demand and pay?
