Hi - first time venturing over to this forum (I typically post in psychiatry). I am finishing up residency and consider sub-specializing with an intention to open up private practice. I am strongly considering training in peri-partum psychiatry but wondering how large a demand there may be for these services. Ideally I would try to network with ob/gyn in my community to drum up business. From your perspective would you find having a psychiatrist with this specialization useful to you and your patients? Do you feel there are adequate referrals in your practice?
In my experience, finding a psychiatrist with particular training in this area is lacking even in large metros. You all are on the front lines however, so I'd be curious of your opinions on the matter. Thanks!
