How many years of studing do I need to be a psychiatrist?



Answers:
4 years of undergrad.
4 years of med school
4 years of residency
=12 years.

To become a psychiatrist, you must:

-Complete four years of medical school, pass your medical boards, and you will have your Medical Doctor (M.D.) degree and, most likely, an enormous loan to repay.

-Begin your four-year residency in psychiatry, which is actually on-the-job training for which you will receive a salary. Depending on the state in which you work as a resident, you will take your medical licensing examination sometime during this period.

-Consider continuing your training to receiving board certification in a subspecialty such as forensic psychiatry, child psychiatry or geriatric psychiatry

years really! I thought psychiatrists trained on a weekend course. Most of the ones Ive met give that impression.
Psychiatrists earn their medical degrees (MD), and as such medical school is a requirement. 4 years of undergrad education, 4 years in med school, and I believe 2-3 years in residencies. They will do both medical rotations and psychiatric rotations where they will likely do some therapy as well as prescription supervision. Its a long, arduous process, but if you're interested it is achievable!
