I am interested in being a pediatric psychiatrist, and yes I know the difference between a psychologist and psychiatrist.
I do have a few questions, I am still in high school, and
i was wondering for entrance to med school if the college I go to after high school matters that much?
also, does my major matter? or as long as i get a good mcat score, high gpa, and i take all the required courses to get into med school, then I'm set?
how much math does a pediatric psychiatrist actually use ON THE JOB? I know you need to know a lot for school, but when you actually start your job for real, what kind of math do you need to know on a regular basis? besides conversions/ dosing for meds.
I know pediatric psychiatry is one of the worst, but i am still interested in it.
also, i have also heard that there is a shortage of pediatric psychiatrists and that it is not that competitive. does that means it's "easier" to become one, then another medical profession?
