Psychiatrist

Duties and responsibilities:

  

 Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in the problems of mental illness.  As physicians, they are licensed to use a very wide variety of treatment and may write prescriptions.  Psychiatrists may work for the government, have their own private practice, or work in hospitals, clinics, or universities. 

Salary: $90,000 - $200,000

Education:

   In addition to completing the requirements for a degree in allopathic or osteopathic medicine, psychiatrists must complete an intensive three year residency in psychiatry.

Reflection:

 I think I would want to be a psychiatrist because I would like to help people with disability and help them get better.
