Entry-level positions will narrow slightly due to higher technical requirements, overall risk is medium-low.

- Telehealth platforms expand patient reach
- Big data analytics to optimize treatment plans and prognosis prediction
- Natural language processing to quickly organize medical literature and clinical guidelines
- Complex surgical decision-making and handling of sudden complications
- Patient emotional support and trust building
- Multi-factor comprehensive analysis (medical history + social + psychological)

Entry-level roles (e.g., resident doctors) require higher skills due to AI-assisted diagnostic systems and telemedicine platforms, but basic medical knowledge demand remains; overall slightly narrowed.
Dermatologists should transition to 'AI + Clinical' composite experts: master AI-assisted diagnostic systems to enhance image recognition and data analysis; use telemedicine to expand service reach while focusing on complex surgeries and cases. They can expand into dermatopathology subspecialties or become clinical consultants for AI medical products, pursuing a research-oriented career path.
