Hello all,
I have been interested in psychiatry for quite some time and wanted to see if any other folks felt this way. It may just be the imposter syndrome I’m feeling. I am currently in the middle of my undergrad education & prior to this moment planned to become a clinical psychologist and obtain my PsyD .. as I got older, I realized psychiatrists have more options and if I would pursue this route I would have have more tools at hand. Did anyone else know they had a genuine interest in psychiatry in undergrad? How did you feel? I feel as if I get the PsyD and not the MD/DO I will most likely end up wanting to go back because of the autonomy physicians in psychiatry have. Would love to hear your experience as I feel stuck and need to make a decision soon. I’ve been struggling with this for quite some time so any insight would help. Thank you.
