clinics, or universities. Their duties
include designing treatment programs, conducting psychotherapy sessions,
prescribing potent mental illness drugs, supervising electrotherapy treatments,
conducting research, and lead a team of mental health team providers.
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.
I wouldn't like to be a psychiatrist, I don't think I would be too good at giving advice.
