Psychology Major Aiming for Medical School

@iwannabe_Brown Yeah, no, I definitely want to be a psychiatrist. It’s been very well thought out but thank you for the advice :slight_smile:

@babyangecakes Yeah, I wasn’t presuming anything about you. I was posting more for other people reading. I’ve seen many people think psychiatry and psychology are basically synonymous but with the ability to prescribe meds and they are really two entirely different fields. I even know a number of psychiatrists who I think would have been happier/better doing PsyDs or PhDs in clinical psych than MDs and psych residency.

@iwannabe_Brown
I get asked all the time if the two are the same thing haha. Do you think you would have been happier?

I’m neither and very happy with my specialty choice
