There's a lot of psychiatrists that have a research team but they don't usually post job positions on hospital websites. you could try contacting a psychiatrist that you know of that is an active researcher and see if there's an opportunity for you?

They’re asking about physiatry not psych.

Definitely better than all the other specialities you’ve been exploring. I think it’s one of those rising specialities that is becoming competitive because it’s attractive in terms of life style, opportunities. But you really wanna explore it because you’ve switched interest from medicine to speciality surgery to this. Really look into what you want to do with your career and the actual medicine you want to do. DeeplySuperficial 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blah1234 Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 There's private work available from insurance companies in PMR. It's not for everyone though as it's not a traditional therapeutic relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
