Hi everyone!
I intend to persue a career in medicine and would like to specialize in psychiatry. However, i am a bit unclear about the logistics of acquring residencies after medical school if i were to become a D.O. I have heard that D.Os mostly gain residencies in primary care, and that acquiring residencies for psychiatry is extremely difficult. Is this true? Would my best bet be to go the allopathic route then? I appreciate your help!
