This is a compound sentence. The sentence consists of two independent clauses. "Her brother was a teacher" is one independent clause. "Her sister was a psychiatrist" is another independent clause. However, they need to be connected by a COMMA and a coordinating conjunction. The sentence should be written, "Her brother was a teacher, and her sister was a psychiatrist." When joining two very short clauses like these, commas are often omitted by Standard English users, but to avoid confusion the comma should be used.
A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences joined by a conjunction.
Example : (2 simple) The dragon roared at the guests. It was just a very elaborate machine
Example : (1 compund) The dragon roared at the guests, but it was just a very elaborate machine.
A compound sentence is a sentence containing two or more simple sentences using conjunctions such as and or but.
