I've been thinking of doing a PhD in psychology, but I really want to learn about medications and prescribe them. I've thought about going to medical school, and I'm still thinking about that, but I'm also thinking about being a mid level clinician- but I think I would want to specialize in psychiatry. I am not sure how possible this is, or if in your opinion, midlevels are competent enough for psychiatry as a specialty. I am NOT trying to insult midlevels- I'm just not sure how often midlevels specialize in psychiatry, or to what degree they are able to prescribe psychiatric drugs. I would like some more information on this topic.
Thank you!!
