5/16/10 - I'm a psychiatrist. I'm not sure how common this is, but in my training we abbreviated "psychiatry," "psychiatric," and "psychiatrist" with the Greek letter psi (pronounced like "sigh"). If you go to wikipedia and type "psi" there's an image of capital psi and lowercase psi. Handwritten, they end up looking the same and much like Indiana University's symbol.
