Psychiatric

Duties and Responsibilities:Physicians who diagnose, treat, and help prevent disorders of the mind. Prescribe, direct, or administer psychotherapeutic treatments or medications to treat mental, emotional, or behavioral disorders.

Salary:$184,265-$250,333

Education:As undergraduate students, many future psychiatrists earn a bachelor's degree in biology or psychology. These 4-year degree programs provide the basis for future studies in medical areas. Students planning to enter graduate medical programs should strive for a high GPA. Common courses include:

• Biology
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Advanced mathematics

Demand for this Profession:If surveys conducted by physician recruiting companies accurately reflect current trends in the job market, the news is very good for psychiatrists—and less promising for many patients with mental health disorders. Chief among those who may not receive the psychiatric care they need are children and adolescents and people who live in areas that are not densely populated.

ADD a PIcture:

Reflection:I think being a psychiatrist is a really cool job because you help expressing themselves and how they feel. Also they get paid a really good amount of money but not just that we get to help others.
