Many dermatologists can perform Mohs surgery, since dermatologists learn about Mohs surgery in their medical training. But some dermatologists have undergone specialized training to learn more about the procedure and become more proficient in Mohs surgery. At Mayo Clinic, Mohs surgery is performed by dermatologists who have undergone a year or more of special training in this procedure.
