Members do not see this ad.

So here is the career path I would like to go down:

https://www.cia.gov/careers/opportunities/analytical/psychological-psychiatric-analyst.html

Ive got the analytical part of that path covered, just need to know about the schooling path. Currently in the military doing some interesting stuff, but its not what I ultimately want. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

From my reading, the website is pretty clear about this. The minimum requirments section states "M.D., PhD., or Psy.D from an accredited US university in a relevant academic program, at least five years of work experience in a post-graduate, post-supervised practice with adults in a clinical setting." In other words, they want experienced psychologists or psychiatrists.

Obviously, they are wanting experienced clinicians for this. Its not gonna be your first job after the doctorate.

And working for CIA....can you say "cream of the crop?" 🙂

I concur with this.
