What are the differences between a clinical psychiatric pharmacist at a teaching hospital and one at the VA? I know that pharmacists at the VA have prescribing privileges, etc. Are there any other differences? Which is better overall?

Thanks for any help!

Depends on the VA and the teaching hospital. Its not like every teaching hospital does things in the exact same way. Make some calls, talk to some professors and see if you can set up a shadowing experience.
