Hi Dr. Portela! I am interested in a career that has something to do with dermatology. I know there’s quite a few options. If I end up going to medical school I think I might want to be a plastic surgeon, but I haven’t decided yet. Is there any advice you could give me? Any recommendations for schools after undergrad?
