Erica, as a dermatologist, would typically need a bachelor’s degree in medicine as a foundational step. However, it's important to note that to become a dermatologist, one would usually need to complete medical school (which involves obtaining a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree after obtaining a bachelor's degree) and then complete a residency in dermatology. So, while the bachelor’s degree in medicine is a necessary step, it is not the complete educational pathway on its own.
