How To Become A Neuropsychiatrist Chatham ON

Steps

1. Take lots of science courses in high school to best prepare yourself for a college premedical program. Include physics, chemistry and biology.
2. Visit the Medical Schools Web page (aamc.org/medicalschools.htm) for a list of U.S. and Canadian medical schools. Contact your top choices about the college premedical courses that you'll need for admission.
3. Maintain a high grade point average, especially in your science courses. The competition for medical school is intense.
4. Take the Medical Admission Test (MCAT) at the end of your junior year in college. Ask your advisor how to best handle the paperwork involved in medical school applications.
5. Complete four years of medical school, pass your medical boards, and you will have your Medical Doctor (M.D.) degree and, most likely, an enormous loan to repay.
6. Begin your four-year residency in psychiatry, which is actually on-the-job training for which you will receive a salary. Depending on the state in which you work as a resident, you will take your medical licensing examination sometime during this period.
7. Continue your training to receive board certification in neuropsychiatry.
8. Good luck!
