Hello,
If i have undergraduate diplom (5years :O) from medicine (MBChB or equivalent) can i graduate from dermatology or radiology then?
I have been looking for some information on Universities websites, i have not found anything useful. I mean, they are not telling whether you need an undergraduate diplom to attend graduate program...
or on the other hand:
Which deegre should i have if i want to work as a doctor? (dermatologist or radiologist) ?
Thanks..

To be a doctor you need a medical degree.

Radiologists are not doctors. They are stand alone professionals. You will need a degree in radiology (undergraduate or postgraduate).

Dermatology is a branch of medicine so, again, you need a medicine degree.

Often a full degree is required for postgraduate courses, although occasionally a diploma is accepted, particularly if the applicant is applying for a Diploma or Certificate as opposed to a full masters degree, or has sufficient, relevant, professional experience.
