What made you choose forensics? What is your career/residency like?

I am not a psychiatrist, i am a third year medical student likely going in to psych. I did work with a psychiatrist that is boarded in Forensics, Addiction, and Geriatric Psych and he does a ton of forensic work. He mainly does a lot of arbitrations for lwa suits related to pain v. malingering and competency. He also has a private practice. He has the most interesting job I have seen in medicine.
Hope that helps a little

I have my eye on this thread. I am interested in Forensic Psych, I am starting my Psych residency this summer.

I am forensically trained in psych. A big part of the job entails determining competency to stand trial and criminal responsibility. I am also called as an expert witness to many trials. Any psychiatric provider can work in a jail.

I went creeping on Facebook and her page literally says that she studied clinical psychiatry. Blew my mind.

Is it appropriate to piggyback on the 12 year old thread and ask for an answer to OP’s question?

Don't share the page. Get the thread back on track or close the thread. Take it to the SPF if all you want to do is ****post.

Necro bump by banned member which is now off track. Closing. Please start a new thread on forensics if desired.
