I'm a college student, currently premed psychiatry hopeful, thinking about switching over my goals to Clinical Psych Ph.D. but still mulling it over. One big selling point for me about going into Psychiatry is my desire to live somewhere rural when it's all said and done-- set up a PP, do a...

So, Here's my story: Thought I was gonna be a radiologist until a while back but then psychiatry allured me in a way that I couldn't stop thinking about it, I do like radiology but I just think it would be a waste of my talents (I am a good listener and communicator, love hearing peoples' life...

Hey all! I was just curious - any psychiatry trained pain medicine physicians out there? If not, why? I'd think (very ignorantly I'll presume) that because pain can be an emotional response, psychiatry-pain physicians could be helpful, no? In terms of fellowship, are there any that would...

I'm a 3rd year medical student who was a co-author on a neurology paper and invited to present at a neurology research conference. However the issue is that I would be missing 3-5 days of my psychiatry rotation (that I can potentially make up), and it would cost quite a bit of money to fly over...

Hi everyone, Thanks for reading this. So I'm really conflicted as to what to do here. My apps were delayed a few weeks in the fall due to a late LOR and I ended up not matching into Psych. I got a TY in SOAP and I know I should be grateful for that, but so far the program does not seem great...

I'm trying to look at jobs but on job sites I'm finding myself wading through tons of recruiter posts. For a midsize metro area, the twin cities metro area in MN has ~20 jobs, and who knows how many of those are actually still available and how many of those other people are looking at. I...
