An Army dermatologist examines patients for diseases of the skin. The dermatologist diagnoses skin diseases and treats patients or prescribes a course of treatment.

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Dermatologists

Army 60L experience examining, diagnosing, and treating patients with skin diseases directly overlaps civilian dermatology practice.

How to prepare: Contact the medical board in your intended state of practice to review your medical education, specialty residency, and examination records against its licensing requirements. All states require physician licensure, including standardized national exams, but requirements vary by state.

What the civilian work involves
  • Conduct complete skin examinations.
  • Diagnose and treat pigmented lesions such as common acquired nevi, congenital nevi, dysplastic nevi, Spitz nevi, blue nevi, or melanoma.
  • Counsel patients on topics such as the need for annual dermatologic screenings, sun protection, skin cancer awareness, or skin and lymph node self-examinations.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • eClinicalWorks EHR software
