What classes are important if i want to become a psychiatrist?

What classes do you have to take in college to become a psychiatrist?

  • i want to go to college to become a psychiatrist but i want to know if you have to take classes that involve dissecting anything big, like fetal pigs or human cadavers?

  • Answer:

    Well, you don't go to college to become a psychiatrist. First you attend college, then med school and then you do a psych residency, which is where you learn to be a psychiatrist. And, yes, you will do dissection on a human cadaver [in med school] - how else are you going to learn anatomy?

If you want to be a psychiatrist, then the first thing you must do is earn a bachelor's while taking all of the premed courses. Psychiatry is a medical specialty, requiring an MD degree, and everyone who hopes to go to med school after college must complete the premedical curriculum while IN college. You do not, however, have to major in a science, though many premeds do. So, in answer to your question about what courses you must take in college, I'm giving you the site below. And yes, in med school, you will certainly have to deal with cadavers in Anatomy classes. Future psychiatrists must take all the classes that every other med student must take.

A psychiatrist is a doctor - that means you need to go to medical school after college. That is probably not what you meant then if you don't want to do that. You also need excellent grades and a strong stomach because you would be working with human cadavers.
