Therefore, there is huge scope for dermatologists all over the world. They are not only hired by multi-specialty hospitals, but they can also get freelancing offers from hospitals these days. Even though, there is a huge demand for dermatologist, candidates with this professional qualification are less in number. As in other medical specialties, opening of own clinic in this field is not considered fruitful by many professionals. Therefore, these professionals can better look for job position in well-developed hospitals, rather than setting up their own clinic.

Thus, Diploma in Dermatology course offers good job prospects for candidates since these professionals are highly demanded by many multi-specialty hospitals not only in India, but also in many foreign countries as well.
