A lot of schools have a Pre-Psych major, but that does not include the medicine side, so you'd probably have to do the Pre-Med track along with a Psych major as well. Best bet is to call a few of the schools you're looking at and ask them. The recruitment office knows a lot of stuff like that, and knows who to contact for questions they don't know. Good luck, Freud :)

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specializing in the treatment of mental diseases. Start with pre-med.

Pre-med. Thats my final answer. Not Psychology, that is for Psychologists, not psychiatrists. There is a difference.

4 years pre-med for college - bs. bio or psych, then another 4 years in medicine proper, then another 2-3 years ph. d. or specialization in psychiatry. that's in the philippine ed. curriculum

You'll have to go to med school so work backwards from there depending on what the college offers. (Some have premed programs, others you have to take biology or bio-chem.)

for your undergrad degree, major in psychology with a minor (or double major) in biology or chemistry. then get into a ph.d. program for psychiatry.

Clinical psychology. Then a supplementary course in medicine and pharmacology.

See the career center at your school.
Usually its Psychology or Sociology...double check on that at your school or do some research...
