Braindrain Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi i am medicine hopeful and currently specializing in psychology? i am interested alot in psychological disorders and psychophysiological diseases (CHD, essential hyperemia etc)...i was just wondering what is the potential or future pathway of psychology if a person pursues MD. Like psychiatry and neurology is one but what other option are available. basically i like psychology but want to persue this passion through a medical degree? hope i made myself clear thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsuma Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Your best bet is psychiatry. If you don`t just want to do psych though, you can be a family doctor or geriatician for example, and still see alot of psychiatric disorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Nearly every clinical specialty will allow you to apply your interests in psychology through working with patients.. examples I can think of include palliative care, rehab medicine..
