How do you get a degree in psychiatry?

In: Health, Doctors, Psychiatry [Edit categories]

Answer:

You don't actually get a degree in psychiatry. Becoming a psychiatrist requires an undergraduate degree in any field, as long as pre-medical coursework is completed in addition to any other degree requirements. Following undergraduate work, psychiatrists attend medical school. There is no special training in psychiatry for the first two years. Typically during the third and forth year students interested in psychiatry choose clinical rotations that include psychiatric work as well as taking elective courses related to psychiatry. Following medical school, a three to four year residency in psychiatry is completed.
