(sorry if it's the wrong place to post this)
Hi guys, I've been recently in a predicament where I'm deciding if I should go into medical school. If I were to go, my number 1 option is very easily psychiatry since I imagine there's enough variation to not get bored (and the medscape burnout/hours worked/overall happiness is very good) plus it's very doable from a DO school.
However, I have no idea how a psychiatrist spends their day and whether I'll enjoy doing this for the rest of my life. Shadowing doctors here in Canada is a bitch already, so there's no chance for psychiatrists.
What's the best way to gain experience into the job before getting into med school? Any advice is appreciated
