No, a psychologist is not a medical doctor (MD), where a psychiatrist is. The minimum degree requirement for a psychologist is a master's degree depending on the specialty. However, if you plan on practicing therapy or do meaningful research, you must be a licensed psychologist. This would mean pursuing a PhD which is approximately four years beyond a bachelor's degree. The PhD is a doctorate and the highest level of educational attainment.
No. Medical school is only for physicians. A Ph.D. - in any subject - requires graduate school. Graduate schools are almost always housed at a university.

Yes, but you still have to go to medical school.
If you want to be a psychiatrist, then you need to go to medical school.
A PhD, Doctorate of Philosophy, will usually take you about 8 years. It takes roughly 4 years to obtain a Bachelors Degree, then you go to Graduate School to obtain a PhD. Medical Doctors have a very similar path, instead of Graduate School, they go to Medical School or something like it, and can end up with either a M.D. (Medical Doctorate) or a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine)
Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health disorders using medication and other medical interventions. Psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes, and psychologists use therapy and counseling to help individuals overcome challenges and improve their mental well-being.
There are two basic routes to become a geneticist. You can become a medical doctor and specialize in genetics, or you can get a PhD in Genetics. If you go the medical doctor route, it would take a minimum of 11 years after high school. If you go the PhD route, it would take about 8 years after high school.
Yes you can. The requirements needed depends on which type of doctor and whether a medical doctor or in non medical areas (PhD, EdD, etc.).
A Psychologist takes an undergraduate course of study in psychology, then completes a graduate program (at least a Masters degree, but more often a Ph.D in psychology) in order to practice as a Psychologist. At this time (2014), there are some states which allow Psychologists to prescribe a limited number of medications, typically restricted to antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers, after additional pharmacology training. Most medication prescribing is done by Psychiatrists, however, which do go to medical school and complete residency training in Psychiatry.
hi, there are two types of doctors: ones who have doctorates which gain PHd's in any field which requires years of study; or there are medical doctors which go to medical school. so technically they aren't the same even though they get the same title. but a medical doctors can get a PHd. in which case that's a HEAP of study! hope this helps
yes you have to go yo medical school
Bachelors and Masters at MIT and Honorary PhD from WPI.
There is no particular major that doctors need to take before they go to medical school, though many choose a science major. Biology is probably the most common major, but other sciences are common, and even some people with literature or psychology can go to medical school.
A DO is a certified medical doctor, and can do everything an MD does, only they are given extra training in osteopathic medicine. If a DO wanted to pursue an MD degree they would have to be accepted, enroll and complete training in an allopathic medical school. This, however, would be completely stupid. It would be like someone with a BA in psychology going back to school to get a BS in psychology. It would accomplish nothing more than turning a physician into........(wait for it)........a physician.
