1) You can pursue psychiatry but you would have to take all the prerequisite pre-med classes including biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and possibly math and english. Since you’ve already graduated, you would have to go back to college to take those classes or enroll in a post-baccalaureate program designed for students who have already graduated but want to take the pre-med core classes. You will need about a gpa of at least about 3.5-3.6, high MCAT score, extracurricular activities, good letters of recommendation, and a killer essay before you can reach the interview state.

2) Since you already have a minor in management, an MBA might be a good option. And, yes, it is best for you to get some work experience before you enroll in an MBA program. Some companies may even offer to pay for your MBA. I don’t think working for your father would be that bad of an idea. He may let you do more things than if you were working for other companies. But, personally, I think you’ll be more independent, not to mention free from relatives talking about you, if you work somewhere else. So try and find a job in a business related field, perhaps even ask your father to help you.

Good luck!

1) Is it possible to pursue Psychiatry despite not having done premed? Would having Psychology related work experience help?

Of course! You can be a music major and continue on to go to medical school! Any experience would help you get into med school, especially if you have a background in psych and express you want to go into psychiatry.

2) I’m also thinking about just working and pursuing an EMBA after I gain some work experience. In order to do that, I could do either:

a) Work as my father’s assistant and gain a lot of experience under him but have to go through lots of drama. I have relatives that also work there and they’re really good at talking behind people’s backs.

That might be a good idea to gain experience, but who wold you go to in order to get letters of reccomendation? Unless you can go other previous employers or your old undergrad college professors. I think if you can work around that, that’s a good idea.

b) Do any job I can find and gain as much experience as I possibly can on my own.

That is just as a good idea, if not better than the one you suggested about working for your family. You’ll gain REAL WORLD WORKING experience at the same time.

Please answer in detail and don’t tell me to follow my heart and do what I think is best. I wouldn’t be asking for your help if I knew what was best.

Google the Occupational Outlook Handbook and look at job opportunities for all the above you described. In my opinion, getting any type of MBA is easier than going to med school to be a psychiatrist. If you’re talking about ease and length of schooling, I think the MBA is best. BUT! I will say what you did not want me to say: think it over and choose what you FEEL is best for you and your goals!

1) Yes, it is possible to pursue Psuchiatry still. You will have to meet with a Med School advisor to see what classes you will have to take in order to meet their admissions requirements. You will have taken some of them in your undergraduate program, but not likely the organic chemistry, calculus, and some other sciences.

2) It depends on what you want to do. Business experience is always good if you plan to run your own psychiatry practice. You can also look into jobs in Psychology related fields…with law enforcement agencies, publuch health agencies, correctional facilities (jails/prisons), etc. That way you will be able to whittle down your interests and see if psychiatry is what you really want to do.

If you do just get “any” job, I would recommend applying for a Management position. You will gain much more experience in that role than one as a cashier or stocker…although you will have more headaches because of the responsibilities associated with the position.

I can’t help you with #’s 1 and 2, but I do know that I would work with my father to gain experience – if he is in Psychiatry/Psychology – (you can count “dealing with the relatives” as practical experience) and to get that on my resume. Then I would go on and pursue another job. You could possibly get the best experience for a newbie with your dad.

Good luck, there is a lot of need for you our here!

With Psychology, you CAN NOT practise as a psychiatrist though you can ultimately study to become one and then practise psychiatry.As a psychologist, you do have a significantly distinct though interrelated role to play within Mental Health Services. I am a practising psychiatrist with MBA and LAW. Knowledge wise, if you do these, you are light years ahead of your clinical colleagues. I am worried about who would be able to afford you but whosoever did have a living pearl that they would not let go.

As for experience, try any job. You will need it in MBA/Business.

In the end, start your own , perhaps psychology related business or healthcare management or in related fields. In this way, you will combine all your learnings. I pray the Lord to send you wisdom so that you may choose right.

Society isn’t the difficulty. this is the emotional and cognitive barriers that can not cope with annoying circumstances. those barriers are many times in step with loss of documents approximately how human beings perform. medical care is a manner of achieving this documents and coming up the qualifications to administration annoying circumstances. After that, society isn’t a hulking entity, yet a melange of human beings working in techniques you presently comprehend.

I don’t have a lot of time to answer, but quickly…stay away from psychiatry and strike out on your own in business.

It depends on you and how you take it..

Now a days all are business huuu
