I'm going into college soon and still unsure of what I really want to do. I was considering going to Medical School and becoming a dermatologist. My only problem is that I don't like to dissect things. I heard that everyone that goes to Medical School has to dissect cadavers. Is this true? Thanks.

Yes, sometimes multiple times. If you're going to be doing anything related to biology then you'll be dissecting lots of things...

Yes. It is called basic anatomy and comparitive anatomy. You do this in the first year of medical school. Even dermatologists and other specialists have to still go through the basic course work of general medicine in order to understand the human body.

Yes, my best friend is in Med school and my uncle is a doctor...they both had to do it, it is a really wonderful tool to get you acquainted with anatomy, and how our body functions...even if you aren't going to be a surgeon.

Yes, it helps them learn what things look like on the inside if they have to perform surgery, and obviously it is better to practice on a dead body rather than someone who is alive

no...the kids with x-ray vision get to skip the dissection part...
