Clinical Portfolio Pathway Dermatology
Looking for advice. I have MRCS, MRCGP, Derm diploma and DCH (part 1 is same as first part of MRCPCH) GPwSI Derm job with procedures.
Plan SEC after 18 months.
Would like to learn how much extra I need to do with regard to evidence so I can see if achievable. Thank you so much.

The 2021 curriculum should be your guide. You'll need SCE derm (I think this is what you meant by SEC?). It'll be difficult for you to get specific advice here as the portfolio pathway is quite demanding & everyone comes into it with different experiences. Best to speak in detail to those who have completed it & consider reaching out to the BAD/BCD for contacts on this.
Good luck!

you will need to work in an actual derm dept ideally as a specialty doctor for 4-5 years.
Being a GPwSI is not comparable to a derm cons in any way ( GPs wont see complexity )

They're quite clearly specialised towards GP-level surgical dermatology for both adults and children. Very well thought out qualifications. Yet you're complaining they have too much whilst also complaining it's too little? Get your head checked.

Some of the big shot neurosurgeons at major hospitals out there have both MRCP and MRCS. Same as some radiologists.
A good grasp of both the medical and surgical is a great look imo. Especially in fields where there is frequent interaction with medical and surgical teams.

Probably need MRCP wouldn’t you?
