Hi all,
I'm a rising M-1 and am interested in specializing in psychiatry, especially as it relates to psychotherapy. I am curious if anyone is aware of programs in the West and Southeast that emphasize psychotherapy training within their curriculum. I've researched into Colorado and MUSC so far. FYI, I plan to attend an MD school in South Carolina to complete my medical degree.
Moreover, I've read that a psychiatrist interested in becoming certified in a certain type of psychotherapy (CBT/Psychodynamic/DBT) will still need to take additional training post-residency to achieve this. Can anyone certified in a type of psychotherapy or that currently practices expand on the training that he/she/they went through to get to where they are?
Additionally, can anyone speak to the role that psychotherapy plays in an academic position versus a private practice one? I'm attempting to compare and contrast different types of psychiatry, specifically academic vs. private practice. I've heard that one doesn't train nearly enough in a private practice setting in medical school or residency, so I'm curious how that looks and feels to psychiatrists that use psychotherapy.
Note, I know psychotherapy isn't the only piece of psychiatry. I'm also interested in psychadelic and advanced psychopharmacological treatment, so I know that psychotherapy will be just a piece of the puzzle. Thank you in advance for your time.
