Can you be a psychiatrist and a DO?

In: Health, Mental Health, Doctors [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, it is possible for one to do an MD in psychiatry and then a diploma in ophthalmology, but it would be like doing a masters in political science and then a diploma in travel: it does not make sense. Anyone who thinks of doing so is a good candidate for a psychiatric consult.
